REGULATORY & COMPLIANCE

Regulatory reporting built on controlled data and evidence.

Map obligations, source data, transformations, exceptions, reviews and filing-support outputs rather than rebuilding each return from scratch.

Overview

Regulatory reporting operations coordinates the recurring collection, transformation, validation and review of information required for manager- or fund-level regulatory returns. Examples may include AIFMD/Annex IV, Form PF and jurisdiction-specific reports depending on the manager, fund and distribution footprint.

It sits between authorised compliance interpretation and operational data. The formal obligation must be determined by authorised professionals; operations must then produce complete, traceable data on time.

Operating priorities

Returns are often built manually across administrator, risk, portfolio and investor systems. Changes in rules or definitions create risk if field mapping, lineage and version control are weak.

Common operating challenges

  • No central reporting obligation/calendar.
  • Regulatory definitions differ from internal/system definitions.
  • Data assembled manually each period.
  • Exceptions discovered close to deadline.
  • Prior filing logic and evidence difficult to reproduce.

Frequently asked questions

Does Kelton determine whether a filing is required?

No. Formal applicability should come from authorised compliance/legal interpretation.

Why is field lineage important?

Reviewers may need to understand how a reported value was derived and which source/rule produced it.
