Agenda

09:30 – 09:45 | Opening address
09:45 – 10:30 | Standardise to Streamline: A regulatory reporting blueprint from Capital Markets

Dawd Haque, Market Initiatives, regulatory transformation & strategy, Deutsche Bank

Dawd Haque will explore how data standardisation is becoming a cornerstone of the future regulatory landscape.
He will highlight the Bank of England’s Industry Data Standards Committee and its pivotal role within the Transforming Data Collection initiative. Drawing a parallel with capital markets’ adoption of straight-through processing, Dawd will illustrate why regulatory reporting must undergo a similar transformation — one driven by data quality, consistency, and transparency to build a more resilient and efficient financial ecosystem.

11:15 – 12:00 | From red flags to remediation: Thematic insights from recent section 166 reviews

James Bateman, Partner, banking and capital markets assurance, EY 

Section 166 reviews — or Skilled Person Reviews — are becoming an increasingly important supervisory tool for the FCA and PRA.
As regulators move toward more data-driven oversight, firms are under heightened pressure to strengthen the accuracy, transparency, and governance of their reporting frameworks. In this session, James will share insights from recent Section 166 reviews, highlighting key emerging themes around regulatory reporting, data integrity, and governance — and outlining the remediation actions firms are implementing in response.

12:00 – 13:30 | Lunch & networking
13:30 – 14:15 | Regnology strategic update
14:15 – 15:00 | Reporting Reinvented: Inside the FCA’s data transformation journey

Lauren Dixon, Chief Data Officer, Financial Conduct Authority

Join Lauren Dixon and Mark Shead (Regnology) for an in-depth discussion on how the FCA is redefining regulatory reporting. From retiring legacy data returns to enabling machine-to-machine submissions, this session will showcase how smarter data standards, automation, and the new My FCA portal are shaping the next generation of compliance. Gain insights into how these initiatives are reducing firm burden through data decommissioning, driving efficiency with NextGen Reporting, and supporting a digital-first, risk-led regulatory ecosystem. A must-attend session for anyone navigating the rapidly evolving RegTech landscape.

15:00 – 15:45 | Coffee break & networking
15:45 – 16:30 | Future-ready finance: Leveraging transformation for smarter regulatory reporting

Andrew Burrows, Partner, financial risk and resilience, KPMG & Sarah Walker senior manager, finance transformation, KPMG 

Andrew and Sarah will discuss how finance transformation programmes — powered by automation, data strategy, and operational efficiency — are unlocking new opportunities to modernise regulatory reporting. By aligning finance and regulatory priorities, banks can enhance data quality, streamline reporting processes, and move toward straight-through, insight-driven compliance. This session will share practical examples of how prudential reporting teams can leverage enterprise transformation to build more resilient, efficient, and future-ready reporting frameworks.
