K-Helix: Common reporting software 

Common Reporting (COREP) is a new reporting requirement for all BIPRU regulated firms expected to commence on 1st January 2014.

In addition, KPMG’s regulatory practice has been working on this topic throughout 2011 and 2012.

Background

 

Using our expertise in this area, combined with KPMG's deep Financial Services industry knowledge, we have designed a simple solution designed to remove the pain of XBRL from the filing process. 

 

The K-Helix software

 

  • Allows easy consolidation and entry of data into COREP templates. 
  • Allows for establishment of managed links to and integration of spreadsheet data sources. 
  • Built-in business logic drawing on KPMG expertise, helping to identify irregularities in reporting data. 
  • Converts data automatically to XBRL and performs all technical validation checks on the XBRL report, without any user action or knowledge of XBRL. 
  • Maintains a record of data filed and allows easy updating of information at the next reporting period. 
  • Allows direct filing to the FSA from within the software. 
  • Is continuously updated to meet EBA requirements.
  • Maintains a user-by-user and cell-by-cell audit trail.
  • Allows for comparisons to prior period filings.

 
The design of K-Helix allows it to be rolled out quickly, with minimal handholding and at a nominal cost.

KPMG will be rolling out the tool throughout 2013, and advises companies not to leave this requirement until the last minute.
