Brief description of the project:

In the event that a Member Institution ( MI ) should fail, the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation ( CDIC ) is obliged to make payments to depositors in accordance with its insurance rules, in a timely manner. In order to determine the amounts owing to depositors, deposit liability information would be extracted from MI systems and loaded into CDIC's ROADMAP1system. The ROADMAP system then organizes the deposit information such that payments of insured deposits can be made to depositors.

The implementation of the data and system requirements set out in this document (the Data Requirements ) will facilitate a Fast Insurance Determination ( FID ).
