3. © National Bank of Belgium What is the FINREP-project?

4. © National Bank of Belgium Timetable and recent developments Timetable for Taxonomy Start: end of January 2006 Intermediate versions in FINREP yahoo group First "Public Working Draft" (version 0.3): First "Final" version (1.0): Based on IFRS-GP 2005 Based on IFRS-GP 2006 With some TUPLES Without TUPLES

5. © National Bank of Belgium Timetable and recent developments Timetable for Taxonomy Final version (1.3) to be published very soon! No major changes to PWD expected!

6. © National Bank of Belgium Current and future issues "Timing-dependent" on IFRS-GP taxonomy IASB: New / Modified IFRS CEBS: adapt FINREP frameworkIASCF: adapt IFRS-GP taxonomy CEBS: adapt FINREP taxonomy National Supervisors: adapt national extensions QUID: IFRS-GP taxo is updated, but FINREP framework not? Close consultation with IASCF needed!

7. © National Bank of Belgium Current and future issues Versioning Formulas Currently many national solutions for the same problem! = inefficient! = burden for all parties involved! Status to be discussed in the end of the Workshop!

8. © National Bank of Belgium Modularisation Current and future issues Only 1 Taxonomy (making abstraction from imported IFRS-GP): All elements (primary, hypercubes, dimensions,...) in one schema file and one presentation, definition,... linkbase file

9. © National Bank of Belgium Modularisation Current and future issues 1 Template taxonomy importing 1 Primary taxonomy and many Dimensional taxonomies: There is only one entry point t-FINREP.xsd This approach was used in monolithic versions "1.0" and "1.2"

10. © National Bank of Belgium Modularisation Current and future issues Different primary and template taxonomies for each table: There are many entry points t-FINREP-Txx.xsd Used in modular versions "1.0" and "1.2"...

11. © National Bank of Belgium Modularisation Quid continuing to provide 2 approaches (modularised and monolithic), as for first two versions 1.0 and 1.2? Not a (realistic) option: This might lead to confusion for supervisors and banks! Maintenance: 2 versions = 2 * work! Risk of divergence between monolithic and modular version! There is an easy, suitable solution available! Current and future issues

12. © National Bank of Belgium Modularisation Current and future issues... "Envelope (one entry point)" taxonomy is equivalent to individual taxonomies: same primary items are (dis)allowed for same dimensions!
