Société Générale Bank & Trust chose the FRSGlobal Regulatory Reporting solution to help automate, standardize and simplify its Singapore and Hong Kong regulatory returns. As a result of the implementation, the bank can benefit from:

• Automation, standardization and simplification of reports as a result of less reliance on dependencies across the end to end process;
• Strong audit trails of data flows;
• Consistency across the different reports presented to the regulators including the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA);
• In-built validation rules in line with the local regulator validation rules; and
• Drill-down function for cells of the returns/reports for detailed data analysis.

Additionally, Société Générale Bank & Trust is able to benefit from FRSGlobal's unique Regulatory Update Service, which gives them access to information to help remain up-to-date and compliant with changes in regulatory requirements. FRSGlobal's dedicated team of in-house experts actively monitor regulatory changes in Singapore and Hong Kong, providing updates within the product subscription.

"Further added value comes from the multi-country capabilities of the system, which provides us with a strategic, coordinated approach to regulatory reporting."

"Our regulatory reporting technology and the domain knowledge feeding it are core strengths of the FRSGlobal solutions, which makes our multi-country reporting offering very compelling to banks with multiple offices, such as Société Générale Bank & Trust," said Steve Thurley, Vice President - Asia Pacific and Japan, Wolters Kluwer Financial Services' FRSGlobal.
