In the wake of the global financial crisis, financial services institutions are now challenged to restore investor confidence through greater accountability and transparency, while adapting to an increasingly stringent regulatory climate.

No financial institution will escape the impact of regulatory reform. Compliance with new regulatory requirements will require firms to take a close look at business models, operating models, supporting technology, and data environments. Changes and enhancements to processes and systems will need to be designed and implemented, disrupting the status quo.

To survive this transition, data management and reporting systems will need to be exceptionally strong and flexible, and offer a high degree of integrity. These systems will need to be easily searchable and scalable to meet evolving needs as the type and volume of data required by regulators increases. More stringent reporting standards on credit exposure, concentration limits, leverage, and liquidity positions will require increased levels of data integration. In addition, more regular and robust IT audits will be needed to ensure data security and integrity.

New regulatory requirements, demands for transparency and accountability requires financial services firms to capture, analyze, and report on more data, over longer time periods, at a finer-grain level, which is stressing existing systems and technology budgets to the breaking point.

In order to meet the challenge of regulatory reform while improving transparency and accountability, financial services firms need to:

Reduce the rising costs associated with new regulatory reporting requirements through more efficient and flexible data warehousing technologies
Monitor operational activities continuously to detect and prevent non-compliance and excess risk now buried in massive volumes of complex data
