DNB / AFM Regulatory Reporting

Setup and operation of your quarterly and annual reporting to DNB — IFR/IFD, FINREP/COREP, XBRL and the DLR portal. A reporting cycle you can rely on, with controls behind every figure.

Deep experience with the Dutch specifics that trip up firms relying on generic EU reporting solutions.

Why DNB reporting deserves its own framework

Prudential reporting looks like a finance chore until it goes wrong. A late or materially incorrect filing is a direct signal to your supervisor about the quality of your internal controls — and DNB reads it exactly that way. The investment firm regime (IFR/IFD) made this harder: K-factor calculations, new templates and thresholds that shift as your business grows.

On top of the EU frameworks sit the Dutch specifics: the DLR portal, custom taxonomy elements and validation behaviour that generic reporting tools do not cover. We build your reporting as a controlled process — data lineage, calculation logic, four-eyes review and a calendar that leaves room to fix problems before the deadline.

What we deliver

IFR/IFD framework

Applicable K-factor determination, calculation logic, own funds and concentration risk reporting. See our K-factor guide for the substance.

FINREP / COREP design

Template scoping, data sourcing and mapping from your accounting and position systems to the reporting layer — documented, repeatable, auditable.

XBRL & DLR filing

Taxonomy mapping, filing configuration and DLR portal procedures, including DNB custom elements. Covered in depth in our XBRL reporting guide.

Validation & pre-checks

Data quality rules and pre-submission checks that catch validation errors before DNB's portal does — not after the deadline has passed.

Internal controls

Reconciliations, four-eyes review, sign-off procedures and an audit trail that stands up to your accountant and to DNB.

Calendar & playbook

A quarterly operational playbook: who does what, when, with which data — so reporting stops depending on one person's memory.

Our approach

1

Scoping & taxonomy mapping

Weeks 1–3. Determine your applicable templates and K-factors, map data sources and identify gaps between what DNB asks and what your systems produce.

2

Build & configure

Weeks 3–8. Calculation logic, XBRL mapping, validation rules and DLR procedures. Controls and documentation built in from the start, not bolted on.

3

Parallel run

One quarter-end. Produce the full filing alongside your existing process, reconcile differences and fix root causes before you rely on the new framework.

4

Operate or hand over

Your choice: we hand the playbook to your team with training, or run the cycle with you for the first year while your people grow into it.

Who this is for

DNB-supervised investment firms and trading venues — from class 2 firms wrestling with K-factors to established firms whose reporting has grown into an unmanageable spreadsheet estate. Also relevant ahead of a licence application, when DNB expects a working reporting framework on day one.

FAQs

Can you run our reporting, or only set it up?

Both. We design and build the framework so your own finance or risk team can operate it, and we can run or review the quarterly cycle with you for the first year until it is routine.

We rely on an EU-generic reporting tool. Why do we still have issues?

DNB layers Dutch specifics on top of the EU frameworks: the DLR portal, custom taxonomy elements and validation behaviour that generic tooling does not cover. That last mile is exactly where most filing errors originate.

What are K-factors and do they apply to us?

Under IFR/IFD, class 2 investment firms calculate capital requirements from K-factors — metrics for risk-to-client, risk-to-market and risk-to-firm. Which ones apply depends on your activities; we determine the applicable set and build the calculation and reporting around it.

How long does implementation take?

A standard IFR/IFD reporting setup takes 8–12 weeks including a parallel run against one quarter-end. Complex firms with multiple entities or FINREP obligations take longer; we scope that upfront.

What happens when DNB asks questions about a filing?

We help you respond — with the data lineage and control evidence produced by the framework. Every figure in a filing traces back to source data and a documented calculation, which is precisely what DNB wants to see.
