AFB Sponsored Roundtable: Enhancing Your Data Strategy – How to Comply with BCBS 239 and Other Regulatory Data Expectations

AFB members are invited to attend an in-person roundtable discussion about BCBS 239 & preparing for future data standards. The roundtable, sponsored by Suade, will cover the following topic areas:

• Principles for effective risk data aggregation and risk reporting (BCBS 239)
• Risk Data Aggregation and Risk Report (ECB Guidance – RDARR)
• Regulator-driven transformation projects e.g. Future Banking Data Review
• The future of regulatory reporting

We are grateful to AFB member firm Scotiabank for hosting this roundtable.

Why attend?

Regulators are re-emphasising their expectations around data governance and aggregation via initiatives such as Future Banking Data and the ECB’s Integrated Reporting Framework, aligned with the RDARR guidelines. At this roundtable, Suade will share practical insights on how to improve the accuracy, integrity, and timeliness of your data. This will allow firms to align more easily with current and future data initiatives and to leverage the requirements of regulation to improve the data that you use to run your business rather than see the changes as simply a costly compliance initiative.

AFB will circulate an agenda and a series of questions to attendees in advance which will be used to aid discussions.

The Chatham House Rule will apply to this event to encourage open dialogue and discussion.

There will be refreshments and networking from 15:30 before the roundtable discussion commences at 16:00.

Who should attend?

Senior members of the risk and finance functions (e.g. CRO, CFO) with responsibility for these topics, as well as Finance Data specialists.
