Compliance and data security
Translating in a tightly regulated BaFin environment
Financial market communication leaves no room for vagueness. The wrong term in an ad hoc announcement, a translation error in a PRIIPs KID, a decimal point in the wrong place in an IFRS consolidated statement: the consequences run from an auditor refusing to sign off to serious reputational damage. At the same time, the EU regulation DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) makes sure that IT service providers in the outsourcing chain of a financial institution do not become a security risk.
tolingo is your translation partner for dependable localisation in a financial setting. Our ISO 27001 certification (information security) lets us slot straight into your compliance architecture. We put strict information barriers in place, sign NDAs and support secure data exchange through virtual data rooms (VDRs).

Terms used in financial translation
- IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards)
- International accounting standards issued by the IASB. Mandatory for listed companies in the EU. In translation, what decides the outcome is taxonomy to the standard, provisions against reserves for instance.
- DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act)
- EU regulation on digital operational resilience in the financial sector, in force since January 2025. Among other things it governs the requirements placed on IT service providers in the outsourcing chain of banks and insurers.
- Translation memory (TM)
- A database that stores segments already translated and proposes them automatically on new projects. It keeps terminology consistent across reporting periods and opens up discounts where text repeats. More on this: enterprise translation memory.
- PRIIPs KID (key information document)
- The key information document for packaged retail and insurance-based investment products. It has to be made available to retail investors in their own language. The translation has to render performance scenarios and risk classes precisely.
