EMEA & UK

Regulatory Body

Requirement

Solution

United Kingdom

Financial Services Authority (FSA) & Bank of England (BoE)

The Bank of England collects the data needed to help HM Treasury to manage the UK's economy, and facilitates the Financial Services Authority's ability to execute their supervisory role.

Deposit takers, principal position takers and other firms must comply with the new capital standards required by Basel II, as well as the FSAs Integrated Regulatory Reporting requirements.

In addition, statistical reports still have to be computed and sent to the BoE in another electronic format.

STB-Reporter has been the leading product for regulatory reporting in the UK for some time.

STB-Reporter supports all standard bank returns to the FSA and BoE, as well as Integrated Regulatory Reporting (IRR) with new forms such as the PSD, RMAR and MLAR and Basel II reports.

STB fully supports the move to Mandatory Electronic Reporting and XML and XBRL as this becomes more widely adopted.

Complete return and cross-return validation is performed for you, allowing you to adjust any mistakes. And full BEERS transmission is included so all figures are sent directly to the Bank of England.

Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC)

HMRC Reporting (TMA 1970 Section 17/18) & EU Savings Directive (EUSD).

The HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) Section 17 report for interest earned and tax deducted, requires institutions to report not only UK resident customers, but also those customers resident in some other Fully Reportable Countries.

The European Directive on the Taxation of Savings [known as the European Union Savings Directive, EUSD] came into effect on 1 July 2005. This was a delayed start from the originally planned implementation, but it still has an effect on your HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) Section 17/18 reporting [1970 Taxes Management Act (TMA)].

STB-TaxMan has been the leading product for HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) returns of interest reporting in the UK for some time - with support for the EU Savings Directive (EUSD) reporting requirements as well. As an option, STB-TaxMan will generate customer statements of interest paid and tax deducted for you.

Islamic Bank Reporting Islamic banking operates along guidelines set out under Sharia law, but must also comply with UK banking regulations. Therefore, UK-based Islamic Banks must meet FSA regulatory reporting standards.

Lombard Risk is the only vendor in the UK with a regulatory reporting solution, STB-Reporter, for the FSA and Bank of England that is used by wholly Shariah compliant banks.

Some of the principal Islamic banking products supported by STB-Reporter include:

  • Commodity murabaha
  • Ijara leasing agreements
  • Murabaha transactions

Ireland

Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority (IFSRA) [the Regulator] Central Bank of Ireland (CBI)

STB-Reporter massively reduces the amount of time spent compiling reports and by completely automating the process, eliminates errors associated with unwieldy paper or spreadsheet-based audit trails.

STB-Reporter takes relevant data from a client's source systems, so interfacing is easy - wherever you hold the data, we will take it just as it is - one file or many. We can acquire the data from any industry-standard database, or you can give us simple ASCII or CSV feeds containing any field length, format, or order.
