BCBS 239 Principles Risk-Data Aggregation and Risk Reporting

Following the global financial crisis of 2008, it became clear that banks’ information technology (IT) and data architectures were inadequate to support the broad management of financial risks. The latest BCBS239 compliance self-assessment by 30 G-SIBs has shown that banks are least compliant in Principle 2: "data architecture/IT infrastructure". The main stated reason for this has been the lack of availability of data taxonomies and poor data ownership.

Simplity’s agile Business Data Modelling methodology provides a unified language for all areas across group and business lines. The integrated Accurity Business Glossary and Data Catalog provides clear and comprehensive documentation for taxonomies, mappings, and, consequently, lineage and traceability, i.e. a transparent audit trail.

To comply with BCBS239 data quality management, including data profiling, data lineage, monitoring, reporting, and escalation, procedures must be established. Simplity’s Accurity Data Quality and Data Observability solution enables clients to profile, monitor, control, and report data quality and related events through an integrated technology platform. You can even trial our Accurity data quality solution online, for free.
