5. The Challenge of Regulatory Disclosures:
Lack of Automation, Visibility and Control
Collecting disparate data is time-consuming
Disparate data sources across system landscapes
Regulatory information contained in spreadsheets
Manual cut-and-paste for narrative content
Manipulating data manually increases cost
E-mail workflow reduces visibility into status
Multiple document instances and versions
Approvals are cumbersome to manage and audit
Decentralized disclosures increase risk
Manual cut-and-paste into different formats
XBRL filing separate from statement publication
Last-minute adjustments may cause inconsistencies
