Introduction to CBL reporting for financial companies

The Central Bank of Luxembourg (CBL) is in charge of collecting data and statistics from Luxembourg financial services and institutions. Along with the adoption of new rules in 2014, amending the CBL regulation of April 2011, many entities have to deliver a monthly report to the Central Bank of Luxembourg.

For the uninitiated, it may be complicated to navigate through the codifications and terminologies to be used. In order to fill-in and file accurate reports, mastering the above-mentioned rules are essential.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• better understand the background of the Central Bank of Luxembourg reporting obligation;
• understand all the codes used for the classification, the accounting framework to be used or how to properly split the information in the trial balance to ensure a good reporting;
• prepare CBL reports on a simple holding company.
