BCBS 239 and RDARR readiness

Risk data aggregation depends on integrity being designed, owned and evidenced end to end.

DQIntegrity applies a practical data and control lens to risk-data aggregation and reporting: governance, architecture, accuracy, completeness, timeliness, adaptability, lineage, control operation and executive evidence.

From principle to operating reality

Good reporting cannot compensate for weak data architecture and control ownership.

BCBS 239 established principles to strengthen banks' risk-data aggregation and internal risk reporting. The ECB's final RDARR guide reinforces supervisory expectations around governance, data architecture, accuracy, completeness, timeliness and implementation discipline.

DQIntegrity does not provide formal regulatory certification. It helps institutions assess whether their operating evidence supports a defensible view of data aggregation and reporting integrity.

Data-integrity focus areas

Where DQIntegrity can support BCBS 239 and RDARR improvement.

Governance and ownership

Accountability across producers, aggregators, report owners, data offices and executive decision-makers.

Architecture and lineage

Traceable data journeys, transformation logic, aggregation paths and critical dependencies.

Accuracy and correctness

Mappings, derivations, classifications, calculations, tolerances and exception evidence.

Completeness

Expected populations, source coverage, exclusions, dropped records and reconciliation.

Timeliness and adaptability

Data availability, reporting cycles, stress conditions and rapid aggregation capability.

Control evidence

Operation, investigation, remediation, management reporting and sustainable closure.

Engagement routes

Proportionate support for large and regional banks.

Focused diagnostic

  • Selected report or risk-data domain
  • Lineage and transformation challenge
  • Completeness and correctness controls
  • Evidence and ownership assessment
  • Prioritised remediation

Programme assurance

  • Target-state control requirements
  • Delivery and evidence challenge
  • Implementation readiness
  • Executive reporting
  • Independent remediation assurance

Risk reporting should be decision-useful because the underlying data is controlled.

Test the integrity behind the report.
