Presentation overview

1. A new Information System

2. Building the SURFI taxonomy

3. SURFI IT Project





Main IT strategy elements :

– Implement the new COREP and FINREP reports in compliance with European harmonized framework

– Follow the CEBS recommendation to adopt XBRL in order to foster harmonization

– Change our reporting framework, promote harmonization and streamlining, launch the SURFI project

– Modernize our banks rating system and IT studies systemBanque de France – direction de la Communication





In this framework, progressive, but complete change of our reporting system……in 3 stages:

• COFINREP project implementing COREP et FINREP specifications: beginning of 2006 – mid 2008;

• MODEC project modernizing the civil status data gathering: June 2007 – 1st semester 2010;

• SURFI project modernizing and streamlining regulatory data gathering: April 2008 – June 2010

COFINREP Project

• Allowed the implementation of the Basel II and IFRS impacts on the regulatory reports…

• … following the CEBS recommandations about the use of the XBRL

standard for harmonized European COREP et FINREP reports. • Launched in 1993, the present BAFI system, using a proprietary data

format, couldn’t be upgraded to reach the new specifications.

• A finished project :

– New functionalities since September, dedicated to the supervision staff (e.g. specific reports);

– Next improvment : the implementation of the « tolerance margin ».




MODEC project• Offering to the banking industry a state-of-the-art interactive software

dedicated to civil status processes ;

• Being able to get live data transmission from banks and give them feedback ;

• Taking into account the new European regulatory requirements :– integrate new categories of banks, in compliance with european directives, – and reinforce the disclosures (the directive on « Systems of payment » requires the creation of an on-line registered bank database »

• Allowing the 80 IT systems of BoF to have an easy real-time acces to this system of reference (WEB site, WEB services, WEBSPHERE, ORACLE)

• End of the project : 1st semester 2010 (this system of reference is necessary for SURFI)




Present data collection system : BAFI

– Reporting entities : 910 MFIs – according to the French banking law, id. broad definition -, and 156 investment firms

– 840 end-users within the Commission bancaire and the Banque de France

– Coverage : data for statistical as well as prudential purposes, but BoP data partially out of the scope

– Same database, but limited harmonization of concepts and reporting formats, generating double collection of data

– On the technical side, database system based on a proprietary system developed in 1993, therefore somewhat mature




Modernizing the reporting system

– Result of a discussion process with the banking industry following the introduction of COREP and FINREP

– The industry requested :

• a significant reduction of the reporting burden

• the elimination of double collection of data for supervisory and statistical purposes

• a better coordination in the definition of new reporting requirements between Banque de France departments




Launched in June 2007, the main objectives of the project

– Harmonize data collection for supervisory and statistical purposes, in eliminating double collection of data

– Alleviate the reporting burden through the streamlining of the entire present reporting system

– Take fully into account the ECB statistical revision package and articulate our own schedule

– Switch from a template centered approach to a data centrix approach, capitalizing on our XBRL experience for COREP and FINREP.




Simplified scope of the project

(Tier 1) French Gaaps

( Tier 2) French Gaaps

(Tier 3) IFRS or French GaapsMonetary statistics =France (1)

ConsolidatedPrudential data (3)

Prudential data=France + branches abroad

=social accounts (2)




Main results in terms of harmonization

– Broad harmonization between tier 1 and tier 2 data, relying on the same accounting standards (French Gaaps) ;

– Limited between tiers 1 and 2 on the one side, and consolidated data established either on IFRS or French Gaaps, depending on the institution




Potential links between counterpart breakdowns

– Find bridges between the different reporting schemes (ESA95, FINREP and COREP)

– Make it easier for MFIs to manage counterparty breakdowns

– Build a table allowing to bridge ESA95 counterpart sectors with SURFI counterparts, as well as COREP and FINREP




Other achievements of the project

– Elimination of double collection of data : every data will be sent once either for statistical or prudential purpose

– A significant reduction in the volume of data

– A more risk-based oriented system consisting of core information sent by every institution, complemented by information sent depending on the level of activity in different areas (thresholds for interbank operations, financial instruments, credit…)

– Release the global taxonomy…






3. SURFI IT Project





– The Commission Bancaire has followed a specific method to build its SURFI taxonomy.

• to facilitate the collaboration between business-oriented staff and IT specialists,

• and accelerate the global development process.

– This method is based on four main stages :




1st stage– Design of the SURFI future templates revised by three working

groups :

• the presentation rules have been determined • regarding the format and the header, use of a specific colour

code to identify dimension names and their values, facts, forbidden data, presentation labels

• the elements and dimensions codification will be

implemented at the same time.

– Templates validation by Monetary departments, banking commission, ultramarine departments : just finalized.







2nd stage– implementation of the working principles of the SURFI

taxonomy : building of «primary taxonomies and dimensions».

– « primary taxonomies» elements come from :– elements from the « accounting class data tree » – other elements resulting directly from the

templates

– each element has its own concept name, label, hierarchical links with other elements, regulatory references .



2. Building the Surfi Taxonomy




• the XBRL element name was determined from the element labels belonging to the data tree or the templates.

• the normalisation of the template presentation and the data tree elements made easier the automatic initialization of most of the future taxonomies via a purpose-built tool.

• SURFI templates naming rules were validated by the users.

• templates were grouped by activity blocks (associated to a threshold or a theme).




3rd stage

• the « dimension taxonomies », their values and their hierarchical order were elaborated.

• for each template : design of the hypercubes.

• choice of a modularized model of taxonomy architecture (FINREP 1.3), in accordance with the best practices.




• Global architecture (templates et « primaries ») :

t-sia-2008-31-12.xsd

T-SURFI-2008-12-31.xsd

t-ste-2008-31-12.xsd t-sor-2008-31-12.xsd …

T-CARTO-2008-12-31.xsd

T-BLANCHI-2008-12-31.xsd

72 templates

Independant taxonomies

p-sia-2008-12-31.xsd

p-ste-2008-12-31.xsd

p-s02-2008-12-31.xsd

p-s08-2008-12-31.xsd

p-s04-2008-12-31.xsd

p-sxx-2008-12-31.xsd




4th stage Implemention of all the business controls :

Determine the expected controls typology (in March), Select those that can be implemented in the taxonomy with

the «formulae» recommendation Evaluate those which will be dealt with by specific

developments Draw up the exhaustive list of business controls (by the end of

May) Set up the formulae tables and integrate them into the

taxonomy.




4th stage Focus on the controls typology : data controls

Basic operation (+ - / *), AVERAGES, MIN, MAX, ABS EQUAL, GREATER, >=, LOWER, >=… Alternative controls : IF … THEN … ELSE … Inter-instances / inter-taxonomy controls (between COREP,

FINREP and/or SURFI) Inter-templates controls (into a single taxonomy) vs Intra-

templates controls Existence of mandatory facts Controls using fixed parameters.




4th stage Focus on the controls typology : trigger controls

Tolerance margin (potentially depending on the control type) From a templates list reported by the bank « business card » data (including civil status data) Remittance date, Missing facts, After reception of all the data to be compared.




4th stage Focus on the taxonomy building

Because of the deadline of the IT project and the lack of tools, we have to generate as automatically as possible the formulae tables Quite easy for :

primary item aggregation,

dimension aggregation,

(of which) checking Quite difficult for the others Some will need specific processing




• Some figures about SURFI Taxonomy :

– 72 templates (some of them with sub templates)– 950 elements from the data logical tree– 1550 elements outside the data logical tree– 23 dimensions




Timetable:

• End of September 2008 : 1st version of the templates . • December 2008 : release of SURFI Taxonomy version 0.1.• Beginning of April 2009 : release of version 0.2 (first

optimization)..• End of June 2009: release of SURFI Taxonomy version 1.0• June 2009 : 1st part of formulae links table building

• BUT : Supply of a technical paper, enclosing EXCEL sheets describing all the required controls

• September 2009 : complete formulae links table building
