Panel of Reporters

The Panel of Reporters (POR) is list of all institutions required to file a Call Report for the next "as-of" date at the start of each collection cycle. For the Call Report this is all domestic (U.S. and territories and possessions) banks that are open as of the report date. The POR is derived from the National Information Center (NIC) and is configurable.

How the POR works:

• The POR is created at the time the reporting cycle is created and is updated automatically every night until the POR is locked at the report as of date.
• The POR is automatically locked at the report “as of date” or the reporting cycle end date, which means NIC updates are no longer automatically reflected in the POR.
• The POR is able to be manually overridden to add or remove an entity.

Problem Resolution:
What if the POR is wrong?
Possible Reasons:

   2. The banks will merge soon but have already merged their accounting systems and want to file one report. (An active bank needs to be removed from the POR.

Reportability Rules

Reportability Rules are rules that define which Call report the Financial Institution should file or which concepts within a report are filed.
Examples of the rules:

• December only items
• RCFD items are only collected on the FFIEC 031
• Only entities with foreign offices file the FFIEC 031
• Report $ thresholds – e.g. Schedule RC-A on the FFIEC 041 is only filed by banks with total assets >= $300 million in total assets.

Reportability rule concepts are derived from the NIC structure and historical data before the data are received. They are stored in the CDR, can be manually overridden, and are used to determine if the correct set of variables are received from the reporter. If NIC is revised after the POR is locked, the reportability rules must be manually overridden.
