Research article series in partnership with Chartis
This article launches the 2025 collaboration between Chartis and Regnology, building on previous years’ themes of technology innovation and cost-efficiency in regulatory reporting. This year’s three-part series offers a timely and strategic perspective on the evolving regulatory reporting landscape, with a focus on the growing need for standardized, scalable, and resilient data architectures across financial institutions and supervisory bodies.
This first article lays the groundwork by examining the data management challenges that both stem from and contribute to fragmented regulatory reporting frameworks. It explores how inconsistent data models, poor data quality, and legacy systems hinder efficiency and transparency, and argues that meaningful standardization must begin with how regulators define and communicate rules—extending through every stage of the reporting lifecycle.
