Purpose

Govern the platform's regulatory reporting obligations register, define reporting ownership and accountability, establish submission tracking and sign-off controls, and define the escalation process for reporting breaches or near-misses.

Scope

All regulatory reporting obligations across NZ and AU, including prudential returns, AML/CFT reporting, depositor compensation scheme reporting, disclosure artefacts, statistical returns, and ad-hoc regulatory requests.

Policy statements

The platform SHALL maintain a current and complete register of all regulatory reporting obligations. Each obligation SHALL record: regulatory instrument, reporting frequency, regulator, data sources, submission deadline, accountable owner, validation controls, and sign-off authority.

All regulatory reports SHALL be sourced from governed system data pipelines and calculation logic that is traceable to authoritative ledger, customer, or model outputs. Manual data assembly outside governed pipelines is prohibited.

Every regulatory submission SHALL include: full data lineage, preparation timestamp, accountable owner, validation results, sign-off evidence, and submission reference and regulator acknowledgement where applicable.

The reporting engine SHALL maintain a submission log for every regulatory return. The log SHALL record: submission timestamp, submitting system or individual, submission reference, validation outcomes, and confirmation of receipt from the regulator where applicable.

All regulatory submissions SHALL pass data quality and reconciliation gates prior to submission. Submissions failing validation SHALL be blocked and SHALL NOT proceed.

Every regulatory return SHALL have a designated owner responsible for completeness, accuracy, and timeliness. A sign-off authority SHALL be assigned for all material returns. Prudential returns SHALL require CFO sign-off. AML/CFT returns SHALL require CCO sign-off.

Regulatory changes SHALL be incorporated into reporting inventories, obligation mappings, report specifications, and traceability matrix entries prior to the first affected reporting period.

Any regulatory reporting breach — including late submission, incomplete data, or material error — SHALL be reported to the Chief Compliance Officer within one business day of identification.

Near-misses — submissions at risk of breach but submitted on time — SHALL be recorded and analysed. Repeated near-misses SHALL trigger formal remediation actions and control improvements.
