Context
An established retail bank, subject to BCEAO and Banking Commission reporting requirements, produced its regulatory statements from manual extractions and spreadsheets consolidated by a dedicated team. Every monthly closing consumed several person-days, with re-keying error risks and limited traceability in case of inspection.
The challenge
Make regulatory reporting reliable and fast without interrupting ongoing filings, demonstrate an end-to-end audit trail to inspectors, and give the risk department a daily — rather than monthly — view of key prudential indicators.
Our approach
- 01
Full mapping of existing reporting flows and calculation rules, validated line by line with the compliance team.
- 02
A regulatory data warehouse fed daily from core banking, with automated quality checks on every load.
- 03
A versioned statement-calculation engine: every published figure can be replayed and traced to its source data (full audit trail).
- 04
Parallel runs over three closings (legacy and new system side by side) before cut-over, then skills transfer to the in-house team.
Results
Monthly statement production time fell by roughly 60%, re-keying discrepancies disappeared, and the bank passed its next inspection producing every supporting document within minutes. The risk department now has a daily prudential dashboard.
