ISDA this week issued this spreadsheet relating to EMIR reporting. It is a version of the EMIR “validations spreadsheet” with added columns for many of the fields, that provide best practice notes on how they should be filled. The spreadsheet was produced by several industry associations, including ISDA, EFAMA, EVIA, FIA, BVI, GFXD and IA. The press release on the ISDA web site can be found here.
