MFSA Publishes Guidelines on Submission of Reporting Data
MFSA published the guidelines for credit institutions and branches to upload and review supervisory reporting data through the LH Portal. With respect to uploading supervisory reporting modules, guidelines cover areas such as sign in, file upload, file naming conventions, compressing modules for submission, and re-submissions.
Credit institutions are required to report prudential information to MFSA under the Common Reporting (COREP) and the Financial Reporting (FINREP) frameworks established as part of the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR or Regulation 575/2013) and the implementing technical standards on supervisory reporting. The reporting is in accordance with the MFSA-issued circulars on COREP and FINREP and is subject to the terms and conditions imposed by MFSA. Credit institutions are required to submit COREP and FINREP data on both solo and consolidated basis, as applicable.
