A New Home for Call Report Data

The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) Call Report Agencies (FDIC, FRB, and OCC) collaborated to develop a secure, shared database for collecting and managing Call Report data. The Central Data Repository (the CDR), was implemented on October 1, 2005.

What is the Central Data Repository?

• Comprehensive database for storing and managing Call Report data from more than 8,000 reporting entities
  
  
• Integrated metadata repository that contains the rules, calculations, edits, and instructions for every Call Report quarter (beginning with the report date of March 2001)
  
  
• Web-based tool that updates each quarter’s use of the extensible business reporting language (XBRL)
  
  
• Web services portal with access for financial institutions, Agency personnel, Call Report software vendors, and other parties

The CDR design could accommodate the collection and distribution of other types of regulatory data in the future.
