Suade and PwC Ireland Publish Whitepaper on Agentic AI for Regulatory Reporting

New paper sets out how banks can use governed, interoperable data and human oversight to introduce AI into reporting workflows.

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, August 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Suade and PwC Ireland have published a new whitepaper, Agentic AI for Regulatory Reporting: From Data to Decision-Making, examining how banks can build the data foundations, controls and operating models needed to introduce AI into regulatory reporting safely and at scale.

The paper argues that agentic AI will only deliver value in regulatory reporting when it is built on structured, governed and interoperable data. As banks face more detailed reporting requirements and regulators move towards more structured, machine-readable data collection, the paper sets out why data standardisation and clear lineage should come before large-scale AI adoption.

It identifies practical early use cases for agentic AI across the reporting lifecycle, including data validation and completeness checks, exception management, audit-evidence generation and regulatory-change impact assessment. In each case, AI can support teams by applying repeatable logic, surfacing relevant context and routing issues for review, while accountability for material decisions remains with human experts.

"Agentic AI only creates real value in regulatory reporting when it operates on standardised, well-governed data within a clear control framework," said Murat Abur, CIO and co-founder of Suade. "The time to prepare is now. Firms that invest in robust data foundations, reusable logic and clear controls will be better placed to use AI safely as the technology matures."

The whitepaper also examines the role of open standards and interoperable architecture in helping banks reduce duplication across reporting regimes. It highlights the Financial Regulation, or FIRE, Data Standard as a common, open specification for the transmission of granular regulatory data. Licensed under Apache 2.0, FIRE is designed to help firms create a reusable semantic layer between internal systems and multiple external reporting requirements.

"There will always be humans in the loop, and that is an important part of any regulatory reporting architecture," said Eamonn Clarke, Director, Reg Consulting at PwC Ireland. "Agentic AI can automate repeatable steps and surface better evidence, but accountability for material decisions must remain with human experts."

The whitepaper is intended for senior leaders across regulatory reporting, finance, risk, data and technology functions who are assessing how to modernise reporting architecture without compromising governance, explainability or control.
