BEEDS

Data submission

The Bank of England Electronic Data Submission (BEEDS) portal is an online application that manages formal regulatory and statistical data submissions between PRA-authorised firms and the Bank of England. The portal enables firms to complete and submit all data submissions online. Firms can also view the information held about them by the Bank of England and keep it up to date.

Please see our new BEEDS Resources page. There you will find the BEEDS User Guide as well as a host of videos and PDFs to take you through all aspects of BEEDS. You can also find information on interpreting BEEDS Portal error messages.

Version 1.3.0

On Monday 24 October we published a new version, 1.3.0, of the Bank of England Statistics taxonomy to support the collection of Form IPA. This change was announced in Statistical Notice. Please note that all entry points from taxonomy v1.2.4 have been included in this release so that firms can adopt this latest taxonomy if they wish. As no changes are being proposed to the v1.2.4 entry points, firms that do not report form IPA are not required to adopt v1.3.0. In taxonomy v1.3.0 the ‘all’ entry point has been updated to include form IPA, a summary of entry points is provided within the release note.

The taxonomy, data point model (DPM) dictionary, annotated templates and validation rules represent the reporting requirements outlined on the Statistical Reporting page, and collected under the Statistical Code of Practice.

The data point model is an extension of the European Banking Authority’s (EBA) data point model. Filings will be subject to the Bank of England Statistics XBRL filing manual, which has been published alongside this taxonomy. This manual is predominantly based on the EBA reporting frameworks page.
Version 1.2.4

On Monday 26 September, we published a hotfix, version 1.2.4, of the Bank of England Statistics taxonomy to support the collection of statistical data previously collected in an XML format. This change was announced in Statistical Notice 2021/02.

This hotfix addresses feedback that has been received since the publication of version 1.2.3. All entry points remain the same with this update. Please review the change log for full details on the amendments made.

The taxonomy, data point model (DPM) dictionary, annotated templates and validation rules represent the reporting requirements outlined on the Statistical Reporting page of the Bank of England website, and collected under the Statistical Code of Practice. Reporting requirements are unchanged as result of the migration to taxonomy version 1.2.4, and therefore our published definition documents should continue to be used. Over time the data model may be refined to ensure full alignment with these definitions.

The data point model is an extension of the European Banking Authority’s (EBA) data point model. Filings will be subject to the Bank of England Statistics XBRL filing manual, which has been published alongside this taxonomy. This manual is predominantly based on the EBA website.
Business area contact: For any queries relating to Form AS please contact dsdsecurities@bankofengland.co.uk. For any queries relating to Form FV please contact DSDPLteam@bankofengland.co.uk.
