IFR/IFD Reporting

The ARKK regulatory reporting portal transforms your source data into compliant IFR and IFD prudential returns, keeping pace with the latest EBA taxonomy updates and running validations behind the scenes. Excel-based templates connect to the workbooks you already use, and roll-forward carries figures across reporting periods to cut re-keying and reduce errors.

Investment firms still working from manual spreadsheets carry avoidable risk. Own funds, K-factor and concentration calculations are intricate, requirements keep shifting, and tight submission deadlines leave teams stretched and exposed to non-compliance.

TOUCH

Save time

Populate your IFR/IFD return once from existing workbooks, then let roll-forward carry figures across reporting periods and cut repeat re-keying.

TOUCH

Maximise value

Embedded validations flag incomplete own funds, K-factor or concentration data before you submit to your competent authority.

TOUCH

Eliminate errors

Build your IFR/IFD reporting on the same platform as CRD IV, AIFMD and Solvency II, reusing one shared dataset across every prudential obligation.

TOUCH

Gain security

Hold your prudential returns at entity and group level in one ISO 27001 certified portal, with full audit trail and controlled access throughout.

TOUCH

Stay compliant

IFR/IFD taxonomy and template updates are handled behind the scenes, keeping every return aligned with the latest EBA requirements.

TOUCH

Plan ahead

Get clear visibility of capital, liquidity and concentration exposures across cycles, so gaps surface early rather than at the reporting deadline.

+ What is IFR/IFD reporting?

IFR/IFD reporting is the prudential reporting obligation for investment firms under the Investment Firms Regulation (IFR) and Investment Firms Directive (IFD). Firms report own funds, capital adequacy, K-factor requirements, liquidity and concentration risk to their competent authority.

+ How does ARKK support IFR/IFD compliance?

The ARKK portal transforms your data into compliant IFR/IFD returns. Excel-based templates link to your existing workbooks, built-in validations check reports against regulatory requirements, and roll-forward carries data across submissions to reduce re-keying and errors.

+ How long does it take to implement an IFR/IFD reporting solution?

Implementation time depends on factors such as the number of entities, source systems and data quality. Most projects begin with data integration and process configuration before user testing and deployment. The ARKK Automation Platform is modular, so you can implement what you need and be operational in weeks.

+ Does ARKK integrate with existing data systems?

Yes. ARKK's Excel-based templates link to your existing workbooks, so you can populate returns using data you already hold rather than re-entering it into a new system.

+ How is data secured on the ARKK platform?

ARKK software is ISO 27001 certified, the internationally recognised standard for information security management. The platform includes customisable workflows, defined team roles and built-in validations, ensuring access controls and data integrity are maintained throughout the IFR/IFD reporting lifecycle.

+ What are the risks of managing IFR/IFD reporting manually?

Manual processes are time-consuming and prone to error, particularly with complex own funds and K-factor calculations. Re-keying data between templates increases the risk of mistakes, and keeping pace with evolving taxonomy and deadlines leaves teams exposed to non-compliance.
