Christopher Jeffery, Chairman of the Central Banking Awards Committee and Editor-in-Chief of Central Banking
We are very proud of winning the Central Banking Award for two successive years. Our relationship to central banks is continuously growing, and this award reflects BearingPoint’s expertise in supporting clients with the implementation of supervisory data collection, statistical and supervisory analytics, and data dissemination. Together with the technological evolution of our Abacus product, our outstanding consulting team successfully implements regulatory frameworks, and works closely with our central banking customers in countries all over the world.
Central banks are very complex organizations. With Abacus, BearingPoint fully understands this fact as well as the criticality of data collection, data analytics and dissemination for statistical and supervisory purposes. These features are embedded in our Abacus360 Regulator platform. Our specialist teams, working with central banks all across the globe, are both business and technology experts. BearingPoint professionals are, in addition, particularly experienced in dealing with large volumes of complex financial services data as well as a wide range of regulatory requirements such as Basel III, Solvency II, AnaCredit, MiFID II, and central credit registers.
With Abacus360 Regulator, BearingPoint has launched a new generation data collection platform for the end-to-end regulatory value chain process of prudential supervision for central banks and supervisory authorities. Abacus360 Regulator, with its very short implementation period, is in use at several national central banks, with the current focus on AnaCredit. The upgrade to Abacus360 has added a number of self-service components which allow regulators greater flexibility. The system includes advanced analytics, reporting in XBRL, SDMX, ISO 20022, XML and Excel formats, and a new workflow manager. The system allows central banks and supervisors to conduct ad-hoc data collection or stress-testing exercises in a very efficient manner.
