In early 2011, the Federal Reserve Banks communicated the undertaking of a multi-year initiative to enhance reporting capabilities. Beginning in early 2012, we will introduce a new reporting application, Reporting Central, that will replace the Internet Electronic Submission (IESUB) system.
In today's world of rapidly developing technology, you need online access to reporting that is designed to be both innovative and secure, and helps your organization mitigate risk. You can rest assured that security is a top priority at the Federal Reserve. Making data security a top priority at your institution will help maximize the security features available via the FedLine Web access solution. For additional information, review the FedLine Web Security Overview for Users (PDF) fact sheet.
The Reporting Central application will provide a more secure, technically advanced and efficient system that will be a single point of entry for Federal Reserve, Federal Financial Institution Examination Council (FFIEC) and Treasury electronic reports submission and file uploads. Organizations will access Reporting Central via the FedLine Web access solution to submit report data and access electronic reporting applications, report forms and instructions. Due to the use of physical tokens to enhance security for the new Reporting Central application, Microsoft® Internet Explorer® 6.0, or higher, will be required by the Federal Reserve Banks. Please also review the FedLine Web Hardware and Software Requirements to ensure your computer complies with the minimum requirements.
If your organization submits the Treasury International Capital (TIC) and/or FFIEC 009/009a reports, you will need to follow the transition stages, listed below, to ensure that your organization has the appropriate access to the Reporting Central application via the FedLine Web access solution. It is important to follow the steps within each stage in a sequential manner, as each one is dependent upon the successful completion of its predecessor. These steps have been structured to enable you to follow our security procedures, which are designed to address the unique vulnerabilities of the Internet.
No other report series are transitioning from IESUB to Reporting Central at this time.
It is imperative that you begin this process in a timely manner so that your organization has the appropriate amount of time to complete the multi-stage transition process.
