Regulatory reporting challenge in this special period

How are you providing crucial regulatory information timely and keeping financial soundness under control?

Early in March the CSSF issued a press release (March 2, 2020).pdf stipulating that long-distance work is temporarily acceptable, subject to satisfactory IT security conditions: security of communications (e.g. through the setup of a VPN), access monitoring, definition of activation / deactivation conditions of remote access. Nevertheless, not all employees are able to work remotely during this time of crisis for different reasons.

The CSSF also asked supervised entities to perform regulatory reporting when it is due – leaving the acceptance of delays subject to a case-by-case evaluation – in its press release (March 23, 2020).pdf.

This situation has been opening a Pandora’s Box, with many urgent business aspects to cover quickly, coupled with the additional requirement to provide crucial regulatory information timely to keep financial soundness under control.
