Financial Reporting and Prudential Requirements Services

Our experienced team of dedicated regulatory professionals, including qualified accountants, risk management experts, lawyers and former regulators provide prudential reporting and consulting services to a wide range of firms.  We are able to help clients navigate the complexities of the regulatory requirements as they relate to prudential matters.

Whether you are an established firm looking for guidance, or a start-up needing advice, we are here to help.

  • We take the lead in putting policies and procedures in place to satisfy the regulatory requirements, ensuring your firm’s compliance with FCA rules 
  • We will keep you informed of regulatory changes arising from Europe or the FCA that may impact your prudential obligations,
  • Our team will advise on all aspects of capital planning and the associated systems and controls that should be in place, making sure that you meet the strict capital adequacy requirements while also having sufficient capital to continue to grow and expand your business, and
  • We take the stress out of your regular FCA filings, drafting the required documentation and assisting you with submitting your GABRIEL returns.  We can also guide you on the preparation of complex documents such as your ICAAP (and FSA019), ILAAP, Recovery Plan, Wind-down and Pillar III Disclosures.

With decades of combined experience, a commercial focus in everything we do and a specialised understanding of the FCA rules, we would be pleased to discuss your requirements and how we can help.

To complement the above we also offer specialist COREP/FINREP reporting.

Our team offers the following Financial Reporting and Prudential Requirements services:



COREP
/FINREP Reporting Service

Under CRD IV, IFPRU firms must submit their COREP returns to the FCA in XBRL format in line with European Regulations.  Responding to demand from our clients, Complyport recognises that XBRL production can be a challenge and that many firms are unprepared for this task and, as a consequence, we have developed our own comprehensive COREP Reporting Service.

We offer a full process service for a per submission or annual fee that covers:

  • Advice on FINREP data sourcing,
  • Customised Excel templates for data collection,
  • Advice on data items and Excel template completion,
  • Review of data to be submitted,
  • Full data validation against FCA Conduct of Business rules,
  • In-house creation of XML/XBRL return files from Excel data templates, and
  • Instruction and help on final submission procedures.

The service builds on Complyport’s Financial Reporting expertise and experience in helping firms with their GABRIEL returns and aims to combine a dedicated software solution with the knowledge and guidance of our consultants.

Complyport’s COREP Reporting Service is delivered via Portal. To learn more about Portal click here.
