The aim of this TechSprint was to identify potential solutions to help improve the efficiency of regulatory reporting. Find out more about the event.
In November 2016, PA Consulting hosted our second TechSprint. Around 100 developers from across 30 organisations took part.
The ideas generated spanned the whole process of regulatory reporting, starting with converting the Handbook into machine-readable text and using this to enable automated advice or personalised filtering that uncover which parts of the Handbook would apply to a particular type of firm.
Other teams re-interpreted how regulatory reporting could be undertaken – moving from firms ‘pushing’ reports into the FCA, with the regulator storing all this data, to a possible scenario of the FCA ‘pulling’ the agreed data instantaneously from firms as required.
TechSprint event: unlocking regulatory reporting
In March 2017, we hosted a follow up event on unlocking regulatory reporting.
Representatives from financial and professional services, RegTech firms and academics came to the event.
It began with a panel discussion on the future of RegTech, and how we can work together to overcome industry challenges. Representatives from the TechSprint teams then presented updates on their prototypes.
