Solution - Système Unifié de Reporting Financier (SURFI)
The requirements of the FRSGlobal SURFI application are driven by the French Commission.
After 16 years of using what is considered both heavy and obsolete, BAFI reporting will be replaced by a lighter collection of data, SURFI (Système Unifié de Reporting Financier), with the first reports due on 30th June 2010. It will harmonise monetary and banking reporting; simplify or delete duplications; and take into account BCE's regulatory requirements. It will also use XBRL (Extensible Business Reporting Language) as a standard exchange language.
FRSGlobal commits to helping you be prepared for SURFI, by
- Having the SURFI solution available in January 2010
- Supporting its customers with the use of the testing platform, ONEGATE, at the Commission Bancaire as of its opening, which is foreseen end of February/beginning of March 2010
The FRSGlobal SURFI solution will be integrated into the French country solution and comprise:
- Report templates and
- Data processes or calculation
The French Commission's published schedule for banks to meet SURFI requirements is:
| Steps | Deadlines |
|---|---|
| SURFI major requirements | End of October 2008 |
| 1st draft of taxonomy files | End of December 2008 |
| FRSGlobal solution | January 2010 |
| Test environment | End of February/early March 2010 |
| First reporting | June 2010 |
The key features of the FRSGlobal SURFI solution will address the demand by the regulators for:
- 73 templates
- 900 items from the chart of accounts
- 900 calculated items from the templates
- and 23 defined dimensional attributes (up to 7 levels of imbrications)
