EFETnet’s Electronic Regulatory Reporting Service


individual trades on a largely free-form basis taking into account their reading of the regulations as they apply to their organisation. Having said this, it should at least be expected that any trade sent to a repository should be annotated with the relevant regulation under which it is has been submitted. In the long run the identification of qualifying trades should become better understood and filtering of the portfolio automated, reducing manual oversight and interpretation.

requirements mean that some form of data staging area is required where all trades in the portfolio can be annotated and their reporting status audited. A daily dashboard showing the current status of all reported trades is an essential tool for monitoring operational compliance with regulatory reporting obligations. The staging area needs the ability to support increasingly sophisticated filtering criteria so that rules regarding identification of trades for regulatory reporting can be increasing automated as they become better understood in practice.

In this case the operations team can benefit from a single integrated online dashboard summarising the operational status of the organisation’s trade data in regards to reconciliation with counterparties for residual OTC transactions, as a well as for CCPs for increasing cleared volumes


and compliance with reporting obligations over both OTC and cleared transaction volumes. EFETnet’s existing electronic Confirmation Matching (eCM)


service for OTC transactions, combined with its eXRP and eRR services, as well data staging for filtering and status monitoring, provides the market with a complete industry owned market infrastructure for mitigating the impact of regulatory market change. •
