The European Banking Authority (EBA) has announced its most significant supervisory reporting review in years, promising a "simpler, smarter, and more proportionate" framework. The proposed changes to the Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on supervisory reporting aim to reduce the reporting burden. But to focus on simplification is to miss the real story. 

Beneath the headline, the EBA is driving a fundamental shift away from fragmented reporting and towards a common, integrated data backbone. This is more than a regulatory update. It's a strategic challenge to the data architecture of every financial institution in Europe. 

In this new Discussion Paper, Regnology regulatory experts, Dr. Johannes Turner and Erik Becker, analyze the deeper implications for your institution's data strategy, operational processes, and cross-functional collaboration. 

What you’ll learn: 

  • Why the "simplification" headline is misleading and what the EBA's true strategic goal of integrated data architecture really means. 
  • A deep dive into the practical impacts of major changes from COREP and FINREP to Stress Testing, IFRS 18, FRTB, ESG, and Operational Risk. 
  • For Banks: How the shift from template-based reporting to a central data backbone will impact your finance, risk, and reporting teams. 
  • For Regulators: How the move from aggregated data to granular, event-based reporting unlocks new SupTech possibilities for analysis and AI. 
  • A forward-looking view on "the road ahead," with clear insights on how to prepare for this new paradigm.
