Guidelines for the Preparation and Submission of Annual Financial Reports, Interim Financial Reports, Periodic and Statistical Data Reports, and Capital Requirements Compliance Reports of the Central Securities Depository
The Croatian Financial Services Supervisory Agency (Hanfa) issued these Guidelines to standardize the format, signing, and submission methods for central securities depositories (CSDs) reporting annual, interim, statistical, periodic event, and capital requirements compliance data. The document mandates direct electronic access via reports.hanfa.hr for core financial and statistical reports, while permitting alternative submission channels such as Hanfa's Electronic Contact Point, postal services, or personal delivery for specific periodic and capital notifications. It establishes precise XML and PDF file specifications, aligns reporting templates with EU Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/394, and supersedes the October 2021 Technical Guideline effective from 1 January 2023.
