Our areas of expertise

Derivatives, Clearing & Market Reporting

Regulatory reporting with control over data, validations and reconciliation.

EMIR REFIT has increased requirements around transaction data, identifiers, lifecycle events, validations and XML.

ARENA helps structure the reporting lifecycle to improve data quality, manage rejections and maintain traceability across submissions, corrections and discrepancies.

REPORTING COMPLEXITY

Control does not end with XML generation.

Reporting combines transaction, counterparty, valuation, collateral, clearing and lifecycle data. Generating the XML is only one part of the process.

DATA QUALITY AND TRACEABILITY

Reporting quality depends on the source data.

Rejections and breaks can originate from master data, identifiers, rules or transformations. Identifying the source is key to resolving them consistently.

RECONCILIATION AND EXCEPTIONS

Control over responses, errors and corrections.

Pairing, matching, rejections and reprocessing are part of the operational lifecycle. They require effective monitoring and clear incident management.
