      Introduction
      The complementary IReF cost-benefit assessment (CBA) followed an earlier
      consultation on an initial CBA that was launched in 2020.

    • The report summarises the feedback received from the banking industry on the
      possible closer alignment of the IReF with FINREP solo.

      General question on closer alignment
      with FINREP solo
      Closer alignment between the IReF and FINREP solo could allow more substantial
      use of the IReF dataset for supervisory purposes, with the potential benefit of
      reducing ad hoc requests to reporting agents due to a more analytical and stable
      dataset.

    • The ECB legal framework for collecting FINREP solo information (Regulation (EU)
      2015/34)4 currently sets up four different levels of reporting for proportionality
      measures:
      ?

      FINREP data points;

      ?

      over-simplified FINREP;

      ?

      simplified FINREP;

      ?

      full FINREP.

    • Closer alignment does not mean that data
      under the IReF will be collected from reporting agents at the level of the legal entity
      in its entirety.

      the IReF Regulation to cover country-specific requirements? published on the ECB?s website for information on how national results
      are calculated.
    • Members also raised the point that IReF
      information required for closer alignment with FINREP solo would only be collected
      from institutions that are currently subject to FINREP solo reporting.
    • The open text comments that were received in the complementary CBA show that
      different approaches to reporting at the level of the reporting agent may result in
      different expectations regarding closer alignment.
    • There
      were also several comments regarding the frequency and timeliness of the reporting
      of attributes needed for closer alignment with FINREP.
    • Many comments questioned which accounting standards will underpin IReF
      reporting, as those applicable to statistical reporting are often different from those
      relating to FINREP solo reporting.
