1.5.2 Regulators and Supervisory Agencies

Return to 1.5 Intended Audience

Government agencies and regulatory bodies consume, interpret, validate, and compare data reported under statutory and regulatory regimes. These organisations include agencies responsible for oversight, supervision, risk assessment, policy analysis, and related regulatory functions.

This audience includes agencies implementing requirements associated with the Financial Data Transparency Act (FDTA), including agency-specific application of the FDTA joint data standards to collections of information within their jurisdiction.

For these audiences, the Reference Architecture provides a framework for understanding how systems interpret, version, compare, and govern reported data independently of enforcement decisions or policy discretion.

FDIS-RA clarifies how systems maintain semantic consistency, traceability, auditability, and demonstrable comparability across agencies and reporting periods. It supports informed oversight while preserving the authority and discretion of regulators and supervisory agencies over regulatory actions, policy judgments, and outcomes.
