What is transaction reporting?

A transaction report is a regulatory requirement,

which comprises a set of fields including all descriptive

information relating to each trade made by a firm over the

course of a period, usually a day. Exemptions do exist for

certain classes of trades.

Under MiFID the transaction report is made via an

approved reporting mechanism on a T+1 basis.

Under EMIR the transaction report is made to a trade

repository, also on a T+1 basis.

Instruments impacted by regulation

The implementation of MiFID in November 2007 had a profound impact on the existing Financial Services Authority’s (FSA) transaction reporting rules. To comply with these rules all regulated firms must report details of their trades to an Approved Reporting Mechanism (ARM) for validation and onward delivery to the FSA. The purpose of the transaction report is to allow the regulator the chance to monitor various issues, which include:

• policing market abuse

• passing information to other EU regulators to assist in ensuring compliant trading

• enabling enhanced conduct of business supervision of the reporting firm, their clients and counterparties.

Transaction reports are used by external parties, including the Bank of England and the Panel of Takeovers and Mergers.

Currently there are 28 fields to be reported to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under MiFID. Coverage includes ISIN, OTC and Aii instrument transactions. However, FX, commodities and interest rate products are not in scope for MiFID.

MiFID only applies to financial services (FS) firms. Not all FS firms are transaction reporting as their MiFID obligations require and the FCA are now doing more transaction reporting themed visits than ever before. As of November 2013, less than 1000 FS firms are transaction reporting to the FCA.

4 TRANSACTION REPORTING – ThE ChAllENGES Of MIfID AND EMIR TRANSACTION REPORTING

EMIR – Trade repository reporting

From 12 February 2014 there will be an additional 85 fields (26 counterparty and 59 common) to transaction report (OTC and ETD) under EMIR.

EMIR transaction reporting

obligations apply to all entities

incorporated in the EEA who trade derivatives,

whether or not they are financial

service firms. EMIR does not apply to individuals who may purchase derivatives (eg CFDs, spread bets) but the financial firm which deals with them must report a one-sided trade. Unlike MiFID, under EMIR there is no exemption for

FX, Commodities or Interest Rate asset classes –

all derivatives must be reported.

Where both contracted parties have an obligation, a report for each side should be submitted to an authorised trade repository, not necessarily the same one. Before submission, trade data

must be agreed between the parties and they must submit using the same Unique Trade Identifier (UTI).

One party can delegate reporting to the other, or one or both can delegate to a third party

to report on their behalf. However, the firm with the reporting obligation remains responsible for the accuracy of the reports, so they need to be able to retrieve and check the reports made on their behalf.

Six trade repositories have now been authorised by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), each of which has produced a file specification for how data must be submitted to them. As well as the 85 fields stipulated in the regulations, each has added further control fields to assist them in their processing.

EMIR was effective from 16 August 2012, so as soon as trade repositories start to accept live trades

(12 February 2014) a back-reporting requirement will be triggered for all trades open at or since 16 August 2012.

New trades and subsequent modifications are reportable by T+1. Six months after reporting commences, trades must begin to be marked to either market or model, with updates sent to trade repositories. Collateral or margin held against reported positions must also be submitted.

Clearing

obligations for

non-financial firms under EMIR

depend on the threshold of the

notional value of derivatives being

exceeded, differing by asset class.

however, for reporting of trades

there is no threshold and no

lower limit. All derivative

trades must be

reported.

Back

reporting

– If the trade is open on 12 February

2014 and dealt before 16 August 2012,

there are 90 days to report it.

– If the trade was open on 16 August 2012

but closed by 12 February 2014, there are

three years to report it.

– For trades open at 12 February 2014, back

reporting can be done at position level with

the status as it is then – there is no

requirement to report all the events

since the contract was

executed.

What you need to do now for EMIR compliance

− Firms must choose and formalise a connection to a trade repository, with a choice of the following, which have all been approved by ESMA to strengthen risk oversight and allow for more detailed and accurate recording of derivatives trading: • The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC)’s Derivatives

Repository (UK) – all asset classes • Unavista (UK) – all asset classes • KDPW (Poland) – all asset classes • REGIS-TR (Luxembourg) – all

asset classes

• CME European trade repository – all asset classes • ICE Trade Vault Europe

Ltd. (ICE TVEL) – only commodities, credit, equities and interest rates asset classes − Firms must obtain a pre

legal entity identifier code (alpha-numeric code which links to unique information identifying companies participating in global markets – more applicable to non-FS firms who may not have a pre-existing LEI).

Impact on

industry

All EEA entities trading derivatives, whether

they are financial services firms or not, must

report all trades to a trade repository by T+1

Life-cycle events such as modifications, terminations

and mark-to-market must also be reported by T+1

The trade repository must collect and store transaction

reporting data, allowing access to national and

European regulators on demand

Regulators will use trade repository access to

monitor any systemic risk which may be

posed by individual or aggregated

positions.
