Red Pepper Reporting Framework is an easy to use management solution to easily maintain and document regulatory, management and disclosure reports.

Red Pepper Reporting Framework features a lightweight fluid responsive design. It is written in PHP/Laravel + jQuery / HTML / CSS (Bootstrap).

The redpepper reporting solution has been created as an effort to stay in control and to manage regulatory content, interpretations and policies. It can be used as one central database for all legal references, EBA standards/guidance, bank specific interpretations, instructions, technical documentation and policies. By managing all content from one central place it gives transparency across all departments and entities. The current version has the following features:

• Central place for all legal content, references, EBA standards/guidance and bank specific interpretations and instructions.
• Wizards to easily create new reports and documents.
• Searchable - quickly search on legal content, interpretations, row names, column names, field descriptions.
• It uses the tinymce framework to enrich documents and policies with images and html.
• Features an export function to create manuals or quickly to provide guidance to the business or to hand over to the regulator.
• Features 4 eyes principle control for changes to be applied on template, row, column or cell level.
