rFRAME

Easier, faster, more cost-effective regulatory reporting

Dealing with different regulatory environments across a range of complex financial products is a difficult and ongoing challenge. However, our experience has been that regulatory compliance can significantly contribute to your competitive advantage. The data that must be consolidated is a goldmine for improved decision-making and business agility, while the efforts required to understand and anticipate the risks of tomorrow will keep you a step ahead today.

CGI’s rFRAME is a comprehensive solution for financial institutions striving to keep pace with the increased frequency and complexity of regulatory reporting. Our fully automated system takes care of all compliance requirements—from encapsulating the capture of required data to submitting reports to the authorities—making the entire process easier, faster and more cost effective. Its powerful business rules engine and calculation modules generate draft reports, which are then presented to the user for analysis and adjustment before the final reports are electronically submitted to the authorities through prescribed channels.

rFRAME is made up of the following modules:

  • rFRAME Data Management Module (DMM): An interface toolkit designed to provide a simple, flexible and controlled method of interfacing a firm’s source systems with rFRAME to capture the data required for reporting purposes.
  • rFRAME Regulatory Reporting: This core module contains fully defined regulatory reports and also provides comprehensive support for the calculation of market risk, credit risk, operational risk, large exposures and liquidity risk.
  • rFRAME Flexible Query (FQ): An optional module that enables non-technical users to develop their own reports for internal management purposes.

We offer a wide range of support services, including a dedicated help desk to answer your questions and provide timely assistance when you need it, a secure website from which software releases and documentation may be conveniently downloaded, and communication on key issues and important regulatory updates.

rFRAME features a comprehensive documentation set that comprises data interface specification, data field dictionary and business allocation rules. This empowers our clients to use the application to maximum advantage.

We also hold regular user group meetings and encourage customer participation in workshops to support shared learning and active involvement in product development.
