Data Advisory for Federal Financial Regulator

Oakleaf provided a team consisting of industry subject experts and data science/analytics professionals to help stand up the reporting associated with the Federal Financial Regulator’s massive failed bank asset resolution program, which resulted from the 2008 financial crisis. The objective of these efforts was to explain the meaning and applicability of available data and leverage that data into powerful decision-support capabilities to ensure accuracy in approving $40+ billion of repayment requests by banks.

 

Oakleaf has delivered services to this Client in the form of Oakleaf-managed teams and client-managed supplemental resources. We implemented a human capital strategy tailored to an assessment of skillset gaps and based on continuous conversations in collaboration with hiring managers to ensure that the right talent was available as the project moved through its lifecycle.

Our Approach

Oakleaf’s professionals led the rapid development of actionable financial institution data analytics, quickly mastering the Client’s IT and data infrastructure and informing the Regulator regarding the implications of these new sources of data. Oakleaf worked closely with the business owners to understand and coalesce their evolving and complex business requirements.

 

Oakleaf’s team initially supported the client in an advisory capacity and progressed to lead data expert on assets data repository database elements and quality. Consultants helped define and implement business requirements for any Change Control Board-approved changes, coalesced IT and business teams to derive and implement the Regulator’s data standards to the assets data repository database, and proposed standards and analytics to optimize the calculation or definition of critical data elements.

 

Oakleaf’s depth of knowledge and cross-agency collaborative approach to executing agreed-to-tasks resulted in the rapid identification and development of a modernized analytics (future state) capability. We quickly prototyped new analytics routines for the Regulator’s use in the evaluation and assessment of the utility of the data, which enabled it to quickly start using available data analytics to ensure it remained relevant, user friendly, and accurate.
