Generate FCA RegData / BoE BEEDS Return (XBRL)
Skill: Assemble prudential data into a COREP/FINREP/PRA XBRL return
Region: United Kingdom Category: Government — Regulatory Does: Takes a firm's prudential and financial data and assembles the regulatory return as XBRL for submission to the FCA RegData platform or the Bank of England BEEDS portal, mapping figures to the EBA Data Point Model taxonomy. Spec: FCA RegData / BoE BEEDS — XBRL instance against the relevant EBA Taxonomy 3.x DPM (COREP, FINREP and PRA-specific returns)
Submits prudential metrics (own funds, capital ratios, large exposures, liquidity, balance-sheet data). The UK uses adapted EBA taxonomies; concept/datapoint names below follow the DPM taxonomy and return template, not a verbatim schema.
When this applies
- A PRA/FCA-authorised firm (bank, investment firm, building society, insurer) reporting periodic prudential returns.
- Returns such as COREP (own funds, large exposures, leverage), FINREP (financial reporting), and PRA-specific templates.
- Frequency varies by return: monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual per the reporting calendar and remittance dates.
Structure (data → XBRL instance)
XBRL instance:
- schemaRef -> EBA Taxonomy 3.x entry point (e.g. corep_of, finrep9)
- context: entity (LEI), period (instant/duration), scenario (dimensions)
- units: iso4217:GBP (monetary), pure (ratios)
- facts: dimensional datapoints keyed by the DPM
(table/row/column -> metric + dimension members)
- filing indicators: which templates are reported (filed = true)
Data rules
- Identifiers — firm LEI (and FRN where the return requires); reporting reference date in the context period.
- Currency — monetary facts in GBP (iso4217:GBP) unless the template specifies reporting currency; decimals/precision per taxonomy.
- Filing indicators — every reported template flagged; suppressed templates omitted/flagged false.
- Validation rules — instance must pass the EBA validation rules (v_xxxx) and FCA/PRA platform checks before acceptance.
- Dimensions — datapoints carry the correct DPM dimension members; sign conventions per the taxonomy.
Worked example (outline)
Firm LEI 213800XXXXXXXXXXXX12, COREP own funds, ref date 2026-03-31
Template C 01.00: CET1 capital £42.5m, Tier 1 £45.0m, Total own funds £52.0m
Filing indicators: C_01.00 = true, C_02.00 = true
unit iso4217:GBP; context period instant 2026-03-31
Passes EBA validation v_0001..v_xxxx -> upload to RegData/BEEDS
Submitted as an XBRL instance via RegData (FCA) or BEEDS (BoE) by the remittance date.
Validation checklist
- Correct EBA Taxonomy 3.x entry point for the return
- LEI and reporting reference date in context
- Monetary facts in GBP; ratios as pure
- Filing indicators set for all reported templates
- Passes EBA validation rules and platform checks
- Dimensions / members and sign conventions correct
- Submitted to RegData / BEEDS by the remittance date
