FIRE, created in 2014, is the only global open-source data standard for financial firms and regulator communities. Recognised by the World Economic Forum, FIRE is a mechanism that harmonises data at any level of granularity, across multiple reporting jurisdictions, globally. Suade has built a formal data governance structure to ensure that the evolution of FIRE is conducted responsibly and sustainably.
