[**LAUNCH OF THE OPEN REGULATORY REPORTING PROJECT (ORR)**](https://github.com/finos-labs/opensource-reg-reporting)

Earlier this year we launched the Open Regulatory Reporting (ORR) project to simplify Digital Regulatory Reporting (DRR). Built on the Common Domain Model (CDM) and cloud technology, ORR aims to enhance transparency and efficiency in regulatory reporting. We encourage the community to explore the project, share feedback, and engage with the repository. You can find the project’s README in the Open Source Regulatory Reporting [**GitHub repository**](https://github.com/finos-labs/opensource-reg-reporting).
