1.4.1.1 Financial Data Interpretation Systems

Return to 1.4.1 In Scope

This Reference Architecture addresses architectural concerns for financial data interpretation systems that operate downstream of regulated reporting and filing processes, including systems that support agency-specific implementation of the Financial Data Transparency Act (FDTA) joint data standards. These concerns arise in environments that interpret, validate, and compare transparently reported data to support regulatory, administrative, supervisory, and oversight functions.

The scope of this Reference Architecture covers environments that consume reported information and associated artifacts, including contextual metadata, semantic definitions, and interpretive rules, rather than environments solely responsible for initial report preparation or submission. The Reference Architecture addresses data persistence, information sharing, and downstream analysis only to the extent that these activities support the traceability, auditability, comparability, and reproducibility of interpreted data across reporting periods, organizational boundaries, and independently governed systems.
