DaDFiR3: 4th International Workshop on Automated Regulatory Financial Reporting

DaDFiR3 is about data-driven financial risk and regulatory reporting, with a focus on reworking the reporting infrastructure. The project is funded through the "BRIDGE" funding program, a joint initiative supported by SNSF and Innosuisse.

"Our vision is to rework the reporting infrastructure to a future regulatory financial reporting infrastructure that is versatile, lean, and pull-oriented working in a decentralized, diverse and fast-moving ecosystem."
-DaDFiR3 Team

Financial regulation is undergoing a paradigm shift towards greater timeliness, flexibility, transparency, and comparability. This shift enables regulators and financial institutions to adapt more effectively to new situations, conduct more realistic analyses of systemic risks, and strengthen their ability to mitigate adverse events.

These developments will have a significant impact on the financial system and society as a whole. Financial institutions will benefit from lower operational costs, a better understanding of risks, and the ability to allocate resources more effectively toward strategic activities. The financial system will become more resilient and efficient, while the real economy will benefit from a more stable financial environment.

For society at large, this transformation will improve transparency in financial markets and help create a more level playing field between buyers and sellers. It will also strengthen Switzerland’s position as a leading hub for FinTech innovation and provide the foundation for a future-oriented digital financial infrastructure.

This year's 4th and final international conference was organized in collaboration with the ZHAW Institut für Data Science (IDS) and the HSLU Hochschule Luzern and was hosted by Prof. Walter Farkas (UZH Department of Finance).

“Our closing conference of the DaDFiR3 project brings together people, ideas and perspectives that matter for  the future of finance. I look forward to an inspiring exchange in Zurich on 9 September 2026 and to turning new thinking into meaningful impact and to meet many of you there.“
-Prof. Walter Farkas

The event aims to provide insights into the latest developments and updates from the DaDFiR3 project. Dr. Patrick Matei Lucescu, Jiacheng Chen, and Fabian Sandmeier, who all contributed to the "Systemic Risk" part of the project, will present their research findings.
