How does it work in practice?
From the first thematic review in 2016 on effective Risk Data Aggregation and Risk Reporting (RDARR) with on-site inspections (OSIs) at 25 significant institutions, to this day, ECB has concluded that no substantial nor timely progresses have been made to fully adhere to BCBS239 principles and achieve high standards within RDARR.
In response, ECB published in May 2024 a Guide which provides a clear list of 7 areas an institution should prioritize their multi-year roadmaps to achieve an effective RDARR.
ECB also included Data Governance and RDARR capabilities in their Supervisory Priorities for 2025-2027.
