There have been several announcements over the past weeks in the area of reporting regulatory data , with changes under EMIR, details on MiFID II transaction reporting, and REMIT documents.

This article by John Kernan of REGIS-TR published on the LinkedIn site examines the challenges of reporting under different rule sets and considers whether convergence is a reality, as well as REGIS-TR’s own solution.

This article by Alexey Sladkov of Greyspark provides an overview of MIFID II’s transaction reporting requirements, which affects investment firms. Such firms will include those in energy and commodities who do not pass the Ancillary Activity test.

As details emerge of new regulations and changes, many will be further considering approaching the reporting requirements strategically, rather than on a rule by rule basis, if they have not already done so. The many rules emanating from different regulatory bodies indicate that the requirements are unlikely to stabilise for quite some time.
