Let our close relationships with regulators lighten your compliance load. Our cloud-based portal makes sure you’re always compliant with the latest reporting requirements by incorporating taxonomy updates, regulatory changes and validations behind the scenes. So there’s no need for you to worry about system updates or software downloads.
The EU's Investment Firms Directive (IFD) and Investment Firms Regulation (IFR) puts in place a regulatory framework for investment firms in the European Union (EU). The framework aims to ensure the safe functioning and stability of investment firms through simplified and harmonized reporting especially designed for them.

Does it affect me?
Class 2 and 3 investment firms will need to report under the EBA's Investment Firm Regulation and Investment Firm Directive standard in the EU.
What do I need to do?
Make sure your firm understands its obligations and collates all the data and information required for your IFR/IFD report. Take care to follow your regulators designated reporting structure and requirements as you populate the template. Receive validations upon converting your report on the ARKK portal. Download your XBRL format report for submission to your designated regulatory body.
