Joint Final Rule Sets Common Data Standards for Financial Regulatory Reporting

Eight federal financial regulators, including the OCC, Fed, FDIC, SEC, and CFTC, have issued a joint final rule implementing the Financial Data Transparency Act of 2022, establishing standardized data formats for regulatory reporting submissions. Firms subject to reporting obligations across multiple regulators will need to align their data infrastructure and reporting pipelines to the new interoperability standards. This affects any regulated entity that files supervisory data with participating agencies.

What to do

Review the final rule's joint data standards and assess whether your current regulatory reporting systems and data governance frameworks need to be updated to comply with the new interoperability requirements.
