Compliance Reporting Needs
Financial organizations must meet stringent regulatory compliance standards and complying with all the requirements of benchmark standards is a must. Yet, with exploding transaction volumes and continuously evolving standards, compliance can be a significant challenge.
The banking sector needs to continuously update its work processes under the existing compliance rules and regulations defined by RBI and finance ministry. Some areas of compliance are:
To add complexity, banks use multiple applications for core banking systems like ATMs, internet banking, UPI payments, mobile banking, Enterprise Resource Management and others. Banks need to collate data from one or more of these sources to create these reports.
