Enhanced Data Lineage for Regulatory Reporting in Banking

Introduction
A Canadian financial institution aimed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of its regulatory reporting.

With stringent standards like BCBS239 and CCAR to meet, the bank required a robust data governance framework to enhance data lineage and streamline compliance processes.

Challenges Faced
The bank faced key challenges in achieving compliance:

• Fragmented Data Lineage: Lack of visibility across systems hindered report accuracy.
• Inconsistent Data Definitions: Differing terminologies created confusion across teams.
• Regulatory Risks: Disjointed systems increased the likelihood of non-compliance.

What Did We Do to Solve It?
Komhar implemented an enterprise-wide governance framework, focusing on seamless integration of data lineage and compliance monitoring.

How Did We Solve It?
The solution included:

1. Custom Metadata Integration:
   Developed bridges for Cloudera Navigator and Axiom SL to enable end-to-end data lineage tracking.
