# Our Findings

Project Ellipse explores the feasibility of cross-border digital reporting. This POC is intended as a first step towards bringing authorities and stakeholders closer to a common understanding of data that is collected by authorities globally.   

Our exploration confirms that: 

* Regulatory reporting requirements can be expressed in unambiguous machine-readable logical reporting instructions underpinned by a consistent data model; <br>
* Technical standardised programmatic specifications of the steps for generating regulatory reports can be published alongside regulation and ensure clear understanding at the most granular level of the expected data; <br>
* Executable libraries can be automatically generated and published alongside regulations to assist accelerated implementation; <br>
* If a common data standard was agreed to and implemented, financial institutions may no longer need to interpret reporting instructions and submit aggregated data by use case; and <br>
* With additional logical instruction based on the same data model, supervisors may also be able to automatically query the underlying transaction data and generate regulatory metrics referencing that standardised data.&#x20;

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bis.org/ellipse/proof-of-concept/ellipse-mortgage-cdm-demostration.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
