Introduction to Financial Risk Management (FRM)
The FRM application is built on Analytics, Transact Data Hub (TDH) and Temenos Data Lake (TDL) platforms. It is integrated with Temenos Transact and delivered as a pre-packaged and upgradeable risk management software. It enables the clients to:
- Navigate complex regulatory and compliance landscape
- Run sophisticated risk models
- Ensure profitable and risk-informed decisions for greater efficiency and transparency
The FRM application consists of three modules and they are:
Risk and Reporting Dataset Overview
FRM product’s architecture is built on Analytics platform to interact with Temenos Transact on near-real-time basis using DES/TDE as shown below:
Regulatory frameworks such as Basel III/IV and Capital Requirements Regulation 2 (CRR2 - issued by European Banking Authority) impose strenuous compliance and reporting requirements that create many challenges for financial institutions. Only organizations that can leverage the data available in their core banking platform and seamlessly integrate with downstream Risk and Reporting systems will be able to navigate complex regulatory and compliance requirements.
The Risk and Reporting Dataset (RRD) module offers specifically developed and a curated centralized Risk Reporting data repository that banks can leverage. The banks can also use out of box API endpoints that provide required data for downstream Risk systems. RRD comes with a set of thirty two (32) pre-configured data-flows and thirty (30) APIs.
RRD is part of Temenos’ Financial Risk Management (FRM) solution and underpinned by the Analytics, Temenos Data Lake (TDL) and Transact Data Hub (TDH) platforms.
By utilizing the Temenos Data Lake platform, FRM harness real-time structured data from Temenos Transact and curates, ingests and blends large volumes of data required for Risk modelling and other regulatory calculations and reporting. Banks can now implement a single, governed, data hub for any downstream Risk and Compliance reporting systems.
The below table lists the data flows available in the RRD module:
| Data Flows | Description |
|---|---|
| Organisation | Indicates the data required for classification purposes. For example, data such as Company, Country, Rating, Product Types, and so on |
| Customer
|
Indicates the key customer information such as CIF, Name, Address, Residence, Status, Target, Segment, Rating and so on |
| Limit | Indicates the customers’ Limit information such as total limit granted, utilized limit, unutilized limit, Limit expiry, and so on |
| Account | Indicates the Exposure data and Deposits information from all Temenos Transact modules and any third party source (for example, Credit Cards) |
| Cashflow | Indicates the cash inflows and outflows data required for Basel III and Liquidity Risk modelling |
| Collateral | Indicates the collateral information as well as exposure and customer linkages |
| Provision | Indicates the provision data along with exposure and customer linkage |
| Balance Sheet | Indicates the Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss balances to derive operational losses as well as capital accounts |
| Portfolio | Indicates the portfolio information and securities linkages |
| Securities | Indicates the all securities related information including rates and prices |
Following are benefits of RRD module:
- All data elements required for BASEL III risk calculations and regulatory reporting in terms of financial risk management provided through data sets.
- Data elements needed for COREP reporting are provided through data sets
- Data Set is compliant with BCBS239 (Basel Committee on banking Supervision regulation number 239 – Principles for effective risk data aggregation and risk reporting)

List of Risk and Reporting Dataset APIs
Risk and Reporting Dataset APIs are the API end-points exposed through Analytics API services for third-party applications to consume. Output of these APIs are in JSON format.
Provides reference data that are setup in Temenos Transact. For example, companies, branches, countries, currencies, industries, customer rating codes, sectors and so on
/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/companies/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/countries/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/currencies/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/industries/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/ratingCodes/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/relations/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/sectors
Provides the customer information split into two APIs. One API for basic details, which is usually found in core fields of Temenos Transact and the other for customer financial details such as annual income/revenue, balance sheet size, issuer capital and so on, which may be stored in local fields/tables in Temenos Transact or third-party applications.
/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/customersBasicDetails/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/customersFinancials
Related to product codes defined in Temenos Transact; broadly classified into AA product codes, non-AA products, Securities products, Limit products and Collateral products
/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/products/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/productsAA
/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/productsCategories/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/productsSecurity/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/productsCollateral/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/productsLimit
Provides only the list of customers and contracts. This is useful for down-stream systems to fetch the list first, and get further details only for a set of specific records.
/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/customersList/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/contractsDepositsList/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/contractsLoansList/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/contractsDerivativesBuyList/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/contractsDerivativesSellList/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/contractsSecuritiesList
Provides all details required at contract/account level. These details are segregated into different APIs:
/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/contractsDeposits/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/contractsLoans/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/contractsDerivativesBuy (includes Equity, Forex, Commodities)/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/contractsDerivativesSell (includes Equity, Forex, Commodities)/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/contractsSecurities
Provides mitigation details such as provisions and collaterals
/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/provisions/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/collaterals
Provides cashflow information, which could be used for Basel III reporting and liquidity gap analysis
/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/cashflows
Provides FX rates for the currencies.
/api/{tenant}/DataQuery/fxRates
