Generate Microsoft Word documents for narrative reports, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets with structured question-answer layouts, or JSON files for system integrations. [Create reporting configurations](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=create-reporting-configurations&version=australia&pubname=australia-governance-risk-compliance&ft:locale=en-US) : Manage document outputs centrally with the Reporting Configurations module in Digital resilience incident reporting.

[Convert and aggregate contractual expenses to regulator-required currencies](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=currency-conversion-aggregation&version=australia&pubname=australia-governance-risk-compliance&ft:locale=en-US) : Standardize annual expense values during Register of Information report generation by enabling optional currency conversion and third-party total expense aggregation. The application converts contract amounts to a base currency using 32 European Central Bank (ECB) exchange rates based on the reference date. Administrators upload monthly rates into the system. When eligibility criteria are met, expenses across multiple contracts are aggregated by third-party providers or engagements, generating consolidated reports that comply with DORA regulatory requirements.

Name and country fields are auto-populated or cross-checked on create and update, with warnings shown on mismatch. : During Microsoft Excel upload, a batch verification consolidates and validates all LEIs against GLEIF before processing, flagging warnings while allowing administrators to save flagged rows for later correction. During CSV package download, a dedicated LEI validation report is generated. [GLEIF API performance using system properties](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=properties-dora&version=australia&pubname=australia-governance-risk-compliance&ft:locale=en-US) : Configure GLEIF API behavior using the following system properties: * sn_dora_accel.gleif_api_batch_size --- Controls how many LEIs are sent per request. * sn_dora_accel.gleif_api_timeout_ms --- Sets the HTTP timeout per API call. * sn_dora_accel.lei_save_on_gleif_error --- Controls whether rows that fail GLEIF validation during Microsoft Excel upload are saved with warnings or rejected.
