Our solution was developed by a team of experts that bring together the necessary regulatory, business and technology knowledge. The solution has been designed in a way to tackle all the reporting requirements relating to the CESOP legislation in an automated manner, thus reducing the compliance burden on your teams.
Once upstream data is mapped into our data model, the solution will ingest the required data and perform the necessary validations, trigger the required business logic to identify reportable transactions, and produce the jurisdiction specific XML reports to be submitted to authorities in the respective Member States.
The PwC Solution will be hosted within Your Environment and integrated with the upstream systems. Data will be ingested and filtered by the PwC Solution in an automated manner. Once the reportable transactions are identified, the Solution will proceed in generating the XML files ready to be uploaded CESOP database.
The PwC Solution produces data in the required format to satisfy the CESOP requirements. Furthermore, in-built data validations will help with data integrity prior to submitting XML files to the CESOP.
A scalable and intelligent solution that analyses large volumes of payment data and identifies reportable cross-border transactions as defined within the Directive applicable to certain PSPs requiring to report such data to be stored in a CESOP. The solution leverages on a sophisticated and flexible rule engine to aggregate payment data across your various products and determine in which Member State(s) you may have a reporting obligation. Our team has translated the business logic within the rules engine to enable the solution to accurately identify the cross-border payments in line with the various scenarios identified within CESOP guidelines.
Our solution simplifies the process of generating the required reporting by generating the required XML files that are fully compliant with the XSD required by the CESOP legislation, as well as any specific requirements that may have been issued by local authorities in the respective Member States. Our team of experts are constantly monitoring the requirements emanating from each Member State to ensure that these are embedded within the reporting layer of Our Solution. Furthermore, in-built data validations will ensure data integrity prior to it being forwarded to the respective authorities.
The solution is being developed in a modular manner to provide organisations with more options that cater to the needs. For example, an organisation may only need a reporting add-on to transform data from existing systems into an XML file that is aligned with the published XSD guidelines.
