FR 2052a regulatory reporting - platform migration
What is FR 2052a and why it matters
FR 2052a is a daily regulatory liquidity report that provides data essential to assess a bank’s liquidity and funding stability, supporting compliance with Basel III liquidity requirements. It is used to gauge key metrics such as liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) and net stable funding ratio (NSFR).
Executive summary
A large banking institution intended to execute a strategic migration of the FR 2052a regulatory reporting platform from Proteus (legacy) to Axiom (target platform) to strengthen compliance, improve data governance, and enable scalable, automated reporting.
The initiative was centered around ensuring accurate regulatory interpretation, robust data sourcing and lineage, controlled testing and stabilization, and parallel reporting to warrant zero disruption to regulatory submissions and sustained confidence in daily reporting.
Client challenges
- Daily production required manual adjustments to ensure data accuracy and regulatory compliance for calculating LCR and NSFR
- Legacy platform (Proteus) dependency constrained scalability and automation, increasing operational burden and exacerbating complexity
Our solution
- Helped in seamless transition through GAP assessment with Target state in Axiom
- Automated manual adjustments and EUCs to align with Axiom
- Helped in Axiom configuration & report build through standardized data mapping and translating regulatory instructions to Axiom logic
