Award winning services that help quickly and cost-effectively spot and remediate EMIR and MiFIR transaction reporting problems relating to accuracy, completeness and timeliness before they are identified by the regulator.
MiFIR Transaction Reporting plays a fundamental role in market abuse surveillance and EMIR Reporting is important for monitoring systemic risk, therefore regulatory attention on data quality and timeliness is expected to increase.
It’s vital that you are prepared for increased scrutiny in the months ahead.
This is where we can help. ACA’s Regulatory Reporting Monitoring & Assurance (ARRMA) service is a unique blend of technology with specialist consulting oversight, which helps firms quickly identify remedial changes that would otherwise require niche (and often expensive) internal resources that can distract firms from other projects.
Our ARRMA findings reveal that 97% of reports under MIFIR/EMIR contain inaccuracies, and on average each report has 30 separate error types.
While many firms offer reporting technology platforms that create reports or run error analysis, we – uniquely – take this one step further. Our award-winning ARRMA solution not only analyses the reports generated by firms or external platforms independently to challenge assumptions built into frameworks - the exceptional extra is the addition of our independent consulting expertise, oversight, and assurance that provides pragmatic remediation support.
our ARRMA analysis shows:
of reports under MIFIR/EMIR contain inaccuracies
of reports feature mistakes, on average
error types per report, on average
Take advantage of a complimentary one-time reporting analysis to help identify the percentage of your reports featuring an error.
This complimentary analysis will help you get an independent overview of the health of your reporting framework. It includes a summary report identifying, among other things, the percentage of reports submitted that include an error and the number and type of errors affecting those reports.
