Get Ready for the November 1st EMIR Reporting Big Bang

Thursday 22nd June 2017: 15:00 (UK)

On the 3rd of April ESMA published the latest version of their EMIR Q&A with changes to the details of trade reporting in 18 categories. The changes cover diverse areas including product and entity identifiers, margin, collateral, UTIs, notionals, positions, new fields and increased validation.  For firms currently reporting to a TR under EMIR they must have implemented and tested their changes for November 1st well in advance to ensure compliance.  ESMA also published their validation rules spreadsheet with 129 individual rules to be applied to reported data to ensure both format and valid values are correct. In this webinar we will talk through some of the biggest changes and consider how they impact the preparation of your data for reporting. We will talk about why some of these changes aren’t just a format problem but involved sourcing data from within their firm to then calculate the required values for the reports.

Discussion points will include:

• Where to look for the most complex and challenging changes
• What the new fields, validations and rules mean
• Highlights of the sixteen fields where valid values change
• The approach your firm needs to take to prepare
• An easy way to independently test your reporting output data, using the EMIR-Ready service

We will highlight the impact of some of these changes using the RegTek EMIR-Ready service.  The EMIR-Ready service has been developed to provide a safe and easy way to ensure your EMIR reporting data meets the regulatory rules. The same platform is used by over a dozen global banks to test their data – we think you’ll see why when we explain how easy it is to use.

Benefits of the EMIR-Ready service include:

• Having independent verification of your data
• Benefiting from the testing done by global banks to validate the service
• Verifying compatibility with the DTCC GTR submissions
• Speeding up your testing programme
• Being ready quicker

We will also run audience polls to find out what other firms are doing, including:

• What stage of preparations for November 1st is your firm at?
• How is your firm testing your EMIR data submissions?
• How much re-used will your firm make of your EMIR reporting infrastructure for MiFID II?
• What is your biggest concern about Nov 1st
