Jointly hosted by the Bank of Spain and the Spanish Business Register, the event was supported by XBRL Spain. Solvency II, the new European rules that harmonise insurance regulation, including the introduction of uniform capital rules across Europe was a key area of focus. For everyone unfamiliar with European regulation, EIOPA is the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority <http://xbrl.us3.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=fbbc983fbc59adb89ff279b5b&id=a1f72e0ec8&e=928e14b727>, EBA is the European Banking Authority <http://xbrl.us3.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=fbbc983fbc59adb89ff279b5b&id=2f5ff4df82&e=928e14b727> and ECB is the European Central Bank <http://xbrl.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fbbc983fbc59adb89ff279b5b&id=ecba9103a6&e=928e14b727> . *EIOPA on track for Solvency II, T4U to be phased out.* Marjon Trobina, the Co-ordinator of EIOPA’s Information Team, provided an update to the audience in Madrid on the European-wide Solvency II rules, which have now been published by EIOPA as a set of implementation regulations and advisory guidelines. The implementing technical standards on reporting will be submitted to the European Commission at the end of June, which should mean that the rules are finalised by the end of Q3 2015. All of this means that the first Solvency II reports will be provided to National Competent Authorities by mid May 2016, which will be the start of Solvency II quarterly reporting. The Solvency II taxonomy release 2.0.1 will be published at the end of September 2015, which will be used for the first live reporting. At the same time the, for now, last release of EIOPA’s Tool for Undertakings (a software tool to help create Solvency II filings) will also be released in September. At this stage EIPOA plans to decommission this tool - treating it as a bridge mechanism to accelerate market-based commercial solutions. *France paves the way for Solvency II.* French XBRL stalwart, Eric Jarry, from ACPR, (the French insurance supervision arm of the Banc de France) described their Solvency II experiences as an early voluntary adopter. Around 200 firms have filed test data, making heavy use of the ACPR’s test environment, and just over a quarter of those test filings failed the first time around. The usual kinds of errors, including precision, negatives, and inappropriate references to product and entity codes were encountered, but the regulator is confident these can be quickly ironed out. Eric mentions that the timelines for adopting changes to taxonomies tend to be too short, and many IT systems are not yet flexible enough, but he seems confident that these issues will also be resolved over time *Solvency II at **Business Reporting* *360°. * Things are going to be progressing even faster coming out of XBRL Week in Madrid, so we're planning a host of sessions as this mandate gets closer. In the meantime, read about Solvency II technical updates <http://xbrl.us3.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=fbbc983fbc59adb89ff279b5b&id=68d455c484&e=928e14b727> in our news archive and join us in Copenhagen *Danish Business Authority now publishing. *The Danish Business Authority is now publishing more than 600,000 sets of company accounts, which represents three years worth of filings from a company population of around 200,000 firms. All of this data is freely available in XBRL, including more than *1000 IFRS *company filings. Check them out here <http://xbrl.us3.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=fbbc983fbc59adb89ff279b5b&id=9e9dcd58c2&e=928e14b727>. Data about more than 800,000 companies is now also available from the Spanish companies registrar and this implementation was highlighted in Madrid. *Latvian success story.* Artis Smits, from the Latvian financial supervisor, FCMC, showed off an end-to-end data collection, validation, rendering and analysis system in Madrid. It takes European Agency taxonomies and constructs forms for data entry as well as Business Intelligence templates and reports for use by supervisors. The Latvian regulator has implemented Solvency II and CRD IV reporting using this taxonomy-driven approach. It allows financial institutions to submit XBRL directly, or use forms generated from the taxonomy, and applies the validation rules contained within that taxonomy. Off the shelf tools and a relatively short period of systems integration has resulted in an affordable system that allows this supervisor to navigate the changes in European regulation very effectively. *XBRL in Mauritius Update* - In the XBRL world outside of the EU, this article <http://xbrl.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fbbc983fbc59adb89ff279b5b&id=3e2e3688c5&e=928e14b727> highlights what lies ahead for banks in Mauritius as that country's central bank moves forward with XBRL <http://xbrl.us3.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=fbbc983fbc59adb89ff279b5b&id=dc75eb8ba3&e=928e14b727> filing. The project entails the automation of the Bank’s entire data collection, management and processing system. Phase One, including the development of an XBRL taxonomy and a filing platform, is expected to be complete by October of this year. We'll keep you updated as the BoM takes the next step - ‘straight through processing’ of data from source to return with zero manual intervention. *The Auditor's View* - The Italian Association of Auditors (ASSIREVI) has published research with their take on potential issues (both technical and reputational) for filers and their auditors relating to the filing of XBRL financial statements with the Registrar of Companies - especially when that information is available to the public. This underscores the wide ranging impacts transparency can have. Those impacts are by and large positive, but compliance is just one issue that companies (and governments) must consider. Expect more regarding this issue as more countries move towards open data.

The book examines the background and journey taken in the Netherlands around their SBR program. *Implementation tips from key NCA.* Also from Madrid, Maite Sainz from Banco de España, provided an update on the XBRL implementation at that regulator. The Bank of Spain is that country’s central bank and bank regulator (national-level regulators are known as NCAs or National Competent Authorities in Europe), and has been using XBRL for data collection since 2005. The Bank has been extremely influential in the design of the European taxonomies. It has also expended very significant efforts in the collaborative development of many of XBRL’s key specifications within the XBRL International consortium. The Bank now has a set of tightly integrated systems that use consistent metadata across their data collections. Sainz emphasised the importance of well developed communications plans with all members of the impacted community when making changes to a data collection environment, including regulated entities, software providers and consultants, as well as the supervisors within the collecting agency. She also encourages people working in this field not to spare any effort in the development of taxonomies: high quality taxonomies lead to high quality data. Finally, she points out that it is the business users that must lead the construction of a unified financial vocabulary. *CRD IV European Bank Reporting bedding down.* Also at this week’s XBRL EU meeting, presentations from the EBA’s Head of IT, Andreas Weller, and the ECB’s Head of Supervisory Statistics, Giancarlo Pellizzari emphasised the work that the European agencies are doing together to bed down the CRD IV filing environment. All banks in the European Economic Area now file very comprehensive Basel III reports each quarter. The systems for accepting this data at the European Agencies are now operating smoothly but unsurprisingly, there is a focus on the data quality associated with these new filings. A range of quality assurance mechanisms: - identify missing data and resubmissions - the plausibility of reported values - the internal consistency of data; as well as - the results of published valuation rules. All of this information is pulled together into data quality dashboards.The level of co-ordinated focus, at a national as well as at a pan-European basis, on improving data quality is very impressive, although clearly it is still early days.
