Call <strong>Report</strong> data as it is being submitted<br />
by financial institutions.<br />
Other Activities<br />
• Content Working Group—The<br />
task force has agreed to establish<br />
a UBPR working group to<br />
perform a complete review of<br />
the UBPR (excluding the fiduciary<br />
data activities and liquidity<br />
pages that were reviewed<br />
in 2010 and 2011) and make<br />
recommendations for potential<br />
enhancements.<br />
• Technology Working Group —The<br />
task force has agreed to establish<br />
a UBPR working group<br />
to look at ways to improve<br />
the usability of the UBPR. For<br />
example, the development of<br />
various visualization options<br />
(i.e. graphs, charts) and the creation<br />
of a mobile application<br />
will be explored.<br />
• Supplementary Analysis Working<br />
Group —The task force has<br />
agreed to establish a UBPR<br />
working group to identify other<br />
analytics (besides the UBPR)<br />
that could be developed and<br />
maintained under the purview<br />
of the task force.<br />
• Review of the online and PDF<br />
UBPR User’s Guide —The new<br />
online UBPR User’s Guide and<br />
related PDF UBPR User’s Guide<br />
are based on the existing CDR<br />
system taxonomy. Because<br />
the taxonomy is very extensive,<br />
consisting of thousands of<br />
UBPR and Call <strong>Report</strong> concepts,<br />
the task force agreed to review<br />
the taxonomy to ensure the<br />
accuracy and consistency of all<br />
UBPR concepts (which includes<br />
descriptions, narratives, and<br />
formulas), contained in both<br />
the online and PDF UBPR<br />
User’s Guide.<br />
Information Available on the<br />
UBPR Website<br />
UBPR Availability<br />
To provide broad industry and<br />
public access to information about<br />
the financial condition of insured<br />
financial institutions, the task<br />
force publishes UBPR data for<br />
each institution shortly after the<br />
underlying Call <strong>Report</strong> is filed in<br />
the CDR. The UBPR is frequently<br />
refreshed to reflect amendments<br />
to underlying Call <strong>Report</strong> data<br />
and to incorporate any contentbased<br />
changes agreed to by the<br />
task force. The online UBPR is a<br />
dynamic report that is closely synchronized<br />
with the underlying<br />
Call <strong>Report</strong>.<br />
Other UBPR <strong>Report</strong>s<br />
Several web-based statistical<br />
reports supporting UBPR analysis<br />
are also available and are updated<br />
nightly on the website. These<br />
reports (1) summarize the performance<br />
of all UBPR peer groups<br />
(determined by size, location, and<br />
business line), (2) detail the distribution<br />
of UBPR performance<br />
ratios for financial institutions in<br />
each of these peer groups, (3) list<br />
the individual financial institutions<br />
included in each peer group,<br />
and (4) compare a financial insti-<br />
tution to the performance of a<br />
user-defined custom peer group.<br />
Custom Peer Group Tool<br />
The Custom Peer Group Tool<br />
allows industry professionals, regulators,<br />
and the general public to<br />
create custom peer groups based<br />
on financial and geographical criteria.<br />
The tool can then display<br />
all UBPR pages with peer group<br />
statistics and percentile rankings<br />
derived from the custom peer<br />
group. The Custom Peer Group<br />
Tool can re-compute the entire<br />
UBPR using a custom peer group<br />
of up to 2,000 financial institutions<br />
and deliver the results usually<br />
within seconds.<br />
Bulk Data Download<br />
The UBPR database within the<br />
CDR containing all data appearing<br />
on report pages for all financial<br />
institutions may be downloaded<br />
as either a delimited file<br />
or in XBRL format. The service is<br />
free, and downloads are typically<br />
fast.<br />
