# Create objects

ELO Web Client; ribbon; functions in the 'Objects' function group

The DORA tab contains the Objects function group with the buttons for creating the DORA objects. ICT third-party provider, financial entity, branch, and function are independent objects. This means that they can be created without an associated contract object. The DORA objects are used in one or more registers of information as references.

Function name DORA form section Requirement
New ICT third-party provider ICT third-party provider (B_05.01) None
New financial entity Financial entity maintaining the register of information (B_01.01) None
New branch List of branches (B_01.03) None
New function Functions identification (B_06.01) None
New contractual arrangement Contractual arrangement (B_02.02) A contract must be selected in the repository.
New entity making use of the ICT services Entities signing the contractual arrangements for receiving ICT service(s) on behalf of the financial entities making use of the ICT service(s) (B_03.01) A contract must be selected in the repository.

'New function' dialog box

Clicking a button opens a dialog box. All the data required to create an object can be entered there.

The objects are stored after saving in the DORA folder of the respective object.

# Leading financial entity

When creating a financial entity, you must use the check box on the object to specify whether the financial entity is the leading financial entity. This means that the financial entity is added to template B_01.01 and B_01.02. All other financial entities are only added to the template B_02.02. The financial entity that keeps the register of information is also used in the report for creation, and its LEI is added to the name of the repository.

If the option Acts on behalf is enabled, this means that the financial entity acts on behalf of all other entities and is now only included in the template B_01.01, and no longer in B_01.02.

'New financial institute' dialog box

The entry for the leading financial entity is then highlighted in blue in ELO.

# Create register of information

A register of information is a compilation of multiple form modules and additional data that have to be added when creating a register.

ELO Web Client; ribbon; actions in the 'Register of information' function group

The DORA tab contains the Register of information function group with the buttons for creating the DORA register of information:

Register of information Form modules contained Requirement
Register of information for contractual arrangement
  • Contractual arrangements – general information (B_02.01)
  • Contractual arrangements – specific information (B_02.02)
  • List of intra-group contractual arrangements (B_02.03)
  • Assessment of the ICT services (B_07.01)
A branch that uses an ICT third-party provider must be selected in the repository.
Financial entity register of information
  • Entity maintaining the register of information (B_01.01)
  • List of branches (B_01.03)
  • Entities signing the contractual arrangements for receiving ICT service(s) or on behalf of the entities making use of the ICT service(s) (B_03.01)
  • Entities making use of the ICT services (B_04.01)
  • Financial entities signing the contractual arrangements for providing ICT service(s) to other financial entities in the consolidation (B_03.03)
A branch that uses an ICT third-party provider must be selected in the repository.
ICT third-party provider register of information
  • ICT third-party provider (B_05.01)
  • ICT service supply chain (B_05.02)
  • ICT third-party service providers signing the contractual arrangements for providing ICT service(s) (B_03.02)
An ICT third-party provider must be selected in the repository.

'New ICT third-party provider register of information' dialog box; 'ICT service supply chain' tab

Clicking a button opens a dialog box. There, you can link form modules and add missing data for the register of information.

After clicking OK, the register of information is filed to the DORA child folder for the contract object. Cross-contract objects, such as financial entities, functions, branches, and ICT third-party providers, are stored separate of a contract in a separate DORA folder. The contract object itself has references to the cross-contract objects from this folder.

For technical reasons, the visualization of the date fields deviates from the DORA specifications when creating a financial entity register of information. They are shown in the form for the financial entity and not the register of information.

# 'DORA' tab

To enable the DORA tab, the option Yes must be selected for ICT third-party provider on the Data tab.

Form; 'Data' tab; 'ICT third-party provider' option enabled with 'Yes'

On this tab, you will find an overview of all DORA form modules and their status. The status indicates whether the form was created. If a form module has been created, the check box is enabled and the text is shown in green. This is done automatically by the system during form module creation.

A status can also be assigned for the entire DORA report:

'DORA status' area; status '2 - Processing' set

  • Not created
  • Processing
  • Concluded
  • Transfer

This status is set manually.

Under General data, you can specify an ICT third-party provider for the contract. Clicking the arrow opens an overview of the objects created in this area.

'General data' area; expanded header 'LEI company' with table with date and name of object

# DORA report

You can create a DORA report using the Reports action. This action can be used to generate the CSV files that have to be submitted to BaFin as a DORA report.

ELO Web Client; ribbon; 'DORA' tab; 'Reports' function group; 'Create DORA report' action

After clicking the action, the report is created and filed to ELO automatically in the background.

# ICT third-party provider with critical functions

ELO Web Client; ribbon; 'DORA' tab; 'Tools' function group; 'Recalculate critical ICT providers' action

You can use this action to show ICT third-party providers with critical functions in ELO. They are marked in red in ELO.

Executing this action requires you to select an ICT third-party provider.
