MiFIR Transaction Reporting: A Practical Guide
Join us on Monday, 19 July at 11:00am BST for a complimentary webcast to mark the forthcoming launch of AIMA’s MiFIR Transaction Reporting Guide that has been developed with the support of ACA Group.
The requirement to report details of transactions has existed for many years but, as regulations have evolved, this has become increasingly onerous and complex. The FCA has identified improved regulatory reporting as one of its supervisory priorities, having already levied fines of varying sizes totaling more than £130m for reporting errors or omissions under MiFID and EMIR.
Our award-winning trade and transaction reporting solutions help your firm identify failings in the completeness, accuracy, and timeliness of your trade and transaction reports. The prompt identification of errors can significantly reduce the cost and reputational risk from regulatory scrutiny and enforcement as well as the operational burden of re-reporting.
Take advantage of a complimentary one-time ARRMA lite reporting analysis to help identify the percentage of your reports featuring an error.
97% of firms analysed by our award-winning ARRMA service have shown errors in their reporting* and many firms are still in breach by not incorporating market data processor (MDP) data in their MiFIR transaction reporting monitoring.

With CME winding down Abide, its European regulatory reporting platform, many firms now face a complex, time-critical move to an alternative transaction reporting provider. We explore what this means for affected firms and what's needed to ensure ongoing compliance.
Following on from Market Watch 59, the FCA has just published Market Watch 62 where yet again it is taking aim at the numerous data quality issues seen in MiFIR transaction reports. The FCA’s persistent focus on the topic and the fact that many firms do not appear to be taking on board their observations make it increasingly likely that the FCA’s patience might be wearing thin.
Whilst the FCA’s priorities appear, for the time being, to be on understanding the nature and scale of reporting data errors and how they are addressed, failings under MiFID I moved it to take several high-profile enforcement actions. It is imperative that firms get to grips with their MiFID II transaction reporting processes and data quality checks as soon as possible.
Numerous firms who have undertaken complex, expensive and burdensome projects to build their reporting frameworks have mistaken the light at the end of the implementation tunnel as the end of the MiFID II challenge. Some firms are looking the wrong way down the tunnel, and others might well be watching the FCA enforcement train leaving the station.
With the publication of recent Market Watches in quick succession, the FCA appear to be increasing its focus on this topic in an attempt to improve standards and ensure that the UK has a clean, orderly and transparent market in which participants can trust.

The FCA continues to find serious and voluminous errors in transaction reports submitted under MiFIR article 26. Many firms lack the tools or expertise to identify those errors, and so have a growing problem which could lead to regulatory scrutiny or even enforcement action.
The most recent phase of the amended European Market Infrastructure Regulation (“EMIR REFIT” or simply “REFIT”) came into effect on 18 June 2020. These latest requirements are designed to simplify a derivatives regime currently seen as burdensome to some market participants, particularly those whose risk profile is unlikely to impact macro stability.
