Annual Report 2012 - ffiec

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