Use Cases

How REGREP Is Used in Practice

REGREP supports a broad set of regulatory reporting and compliance use cases across financial institutions, investment firms, fintechs, and regulatory service providers.

Each use case reflects a distinct regulatory and operational scenario, implemented through REGREP’s modular reporting infrastructure to support structured data management, validation, and supervisory-ready reporting.

Effortless Regulatory Returns

Regulatory Context

Regulated financial institutions are required to submit COREP, FINREP, and other statistical reports to supervisors in accordance with EBA-defined reporting frameworks. These submissions must follow strict XBRL taxonomies, validation rules, and reporting templates, which are updated regularly.

Manual preparation of these reports often involves extensive spreadsheet work, repeated data reconciliation, and time-consuming validation cycles, increasing both operational effort and the risk of submission errors.

Reporting & Operational Challenge

Firms typically face challenges such as:

  • Manual copying and transformation of accounting and risk data

  • Spreadsheet-based preparation of COREP, FINREP, and statistical returns

  • Repeated validation failures caused by taxonomy and rule changes

  • Limited transparency and auditability of reported figures

  • High dependency on specialist knowledge for XBRL preparation

These challenges result in long reporting cycles, operational bottlenecks, and increased exposure to supervisory findings.

How REGREP Supports This Use Case

REGREP supports this use case through its EBA XBRL Converter, enabling firms to transform raw accounting, risk, and exposure data directly into EBA-compliant XBRL reports.

The platform:

  • Applies the latest EBA taxonomies and validation rules automatically

  • Performs built-in validation checks prior to submission

  • Handles taxonomy and schema updates centrally

  • Generates submission-ready XBRL packages

End-to-End IFR / IFPR Compliance

Regulatory Context

Investment firms authorised under MiFID II are subject to the Investment Firms Regulation and Directive (IFR / IFD) in the EU and the Investment Firm Prudential Regime (IFPR) in the United Kingdom. These frameworks introduce firm-specific prudential requirements designed to reflect the nature, scale, and complexity of investment firm activities.

Key obligations include the calculation and monitoring of K-Factors, capital adequacy, fixed overheads, concentration risk, and the preparation of supervisory and public disclosures.

Reporting & Operational Challenge

Investment firms commonly face challenges such as:

  • Manual calculation of K-Factors across multiple data sources

  • Spreadsheet-based tracking of concentration risk and fixed overheads

  • Limited transparency into calculation logic and data lineage

  • Difficulty maintaining audit-ready documentation

  • High effort during regulatory submissions and supervisory reviews

These challenges are amplified during audits, regulatory inspections, and periods of organisational change.

How REGREP Supports This Use Case

REGREP supports IFR / IFPR reporting by automating the calculation, monitoring, and preparation of prudential reporting data based on firms’ accounting, trading, and exposure information.

Capital Adequacy in Real Time

Regulatory Context

Under prudential frameworks such as IFR / IFPR, regulated firms are required to maintain adequate capital levels on an ongoing basis and ensure that capital calculations accurately reflect their current exposures. Supervisory expectations increasingly focus on firms’ ability to monitor capital adequacy continuously, not only at reporting cut-off dates.

Timely identification of capital pressure is particularly important for firms with dynamic trading activity or intraday exposure changes.

Reporting & Operational Challenge

Firms frequently encounter challenges such as:

  • Reliance on spreadsheet-based capital calculations

  • Delayed visibility into exposure changes

  • Manual recalculation of capital requirements

  • Limited early-warning mechanisms for capital pressure

  • Increased operational risk from outdated or inconsistent data

As a result, exposure-driven capital breaches may only be identified after they occur, increasing supervisory and operational risk.

How REGREP Supports This Use Case

REGREP supports ongoing capital adequacy monitoring by calculating capital requirements continuously using data sourced from accounting, trading, and risk systems.

The platform:

  • Applies relevant Pillar 1 capital rules automatically

  • Continuously monitors exposure changes

Group-Wide Regulatory Compliance

Regulatory Context

Groups operating multiple regulated entities across the EU and third countries are subject to entity-level and consolidated regulatory requirements under various prudential, tax, and operational resilience frameworks. These requirements often span multiple jurisdictions, supervisory authorities, and reporting standards.

Maintaining consistency across capital adequacy, risk metrics, and regulatory submissions is particularly complex in group structures where entities operate under different local rules but are subject to group-level oversight.

Reporting & Operational Challenge

Groups commonly face challenges such as:

  • Fragmented regulatory data across entities and jurisdictions

  • Inconsistent application of regulatory calculations and methodologies

  • Duplicated reporting processes and oversight efforts

  • Difficulty maintaining consolidated and entity-level audit trails

  • Limited visibility into group-wide capital and risk positions

These challenges increase operational overhead and complicate supervisory interactions at both local and group level.

How REGREP Supports This Use Case

REGREP supports group-wide regulatory operations by providing a unified regulatory data and controls layer across all regulated entities within a group.

The platform enables:

  • Alignment of capital calculations and risk metrics across entities

Cross-Border CRS / DAC2 / AEOI Filing Without Errors

Regulatory Context

Under the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) and its EU implementation through DAC2, financial institutions are required to submit jurisdiction-specific reports to local tax authorities for automatic exchange of information. Each participating jurisdiction may apply distinct XML schemas, validation rules, and submission protocols, despite the underlying OECD standard.

Institutions operating across multiple jurisdictions must therefore manage parallel reporting obligations, often under tight filing deadlines and with limited tolerance for technical errors.

Reporting & Operational Challenge

Firms commonly encounter challenges such as:

  • Managing multiple CRS schemas and jurisdiction-specific validation rules

  • Manual preparation of XML files for different tax authorities

  • High rejection rates due to formatting or validation errors

  • Inconsistent data across entities and jurisdictions

  • Operational burden from maintaining multiple local reporting templates

These issues increase the risk of delayed filings, resubmissions, and supervisory follow-up.

Future-Proof CARF / DAC8 Readiness for CASPs

Regulatory Context

The Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), developed by the OECD and implemented in the EU through DAC8, introduces new reporting obligations for Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs). These frameworks are designed to enhance tax transparency for digital-asset transactions, wallet transfers, and customer activity across jurisdictions.

As CARF / DAC8 requirements evolve and move toward enforcement, CASPs are expected to demonstrate readiness in terms of data availability, transaction traceability, and client identification structures, even before full reporting obligations formally apply.

Reporting & Operational Challenge

CASPs preparing for CARF / DAC8 commonly face challenges such as:

  • Incomplete or unstructured digital-asset transaction data

  • Fragmented wallet, customer, and counterparty information

  • Limited alignment between operational data and future reporting schemas

  • Risk of rushed implementations once enforcement begins

  • Increased implementation cost and operational disruption if preparation is delayed

These challenges make late-stage compliance efforts complex and risk-prone.

How REGREP Supports This Use Case

REGREP supports CARF / DAC8 readiness by enabling CASPs to prepare and structure reporting-relevant data in advance of formal reporting requirements.

The platform enables:

  • Mapping of transaction flows and wallet movements into structured data models

  • Alignment of customer profiles and cross-border activity with future reporting needs

Multi-Jurisdiction Reporting for Service Providers

Regulatory Context

Service providers supporting regulatory reporting on behalf of multiple clients must operate across multiple regulatory regimes, jurisdictions, and reporting formats. These may include prudential, tax transparency, and statistical reporting obligations, each governed by distinct supervisory or tax authorities.

Providers are expected to deliver accurate, consistent, and timely submissions at scale, while managing jurisdiction-specific schemas, validation rules, and client data segregation.

Reporting & Operational Challenge

Service providers commonly face challenges such as:

  • Fragmented client data across systems and jurisdictions

  • Managing differing regulatory rules and reporting formats

  • Manual preparation of reports for multiple clients

  • Difficulty maintaining consistency at scale
