The best way to monitor compliance to the regulatory reporting requirements is to provide a graphical tool that alert a user to a potential or actual breach in responsibilities in real-time.

Automated stitching across the entire lifecycle of a reportable trade event, represented graphically as a series of milestones. The user can see in real-time the progress it is making until completion.

Defined as when the primary economic terms are exchanged by both counterparties. In order to monitor compliance to trade reporting SLA’s, it is necessary to inspect the contents of the trade message rather than just the time stamp when it was generated.

Retrieves message content and extracts the actual Execution Time as the trigger for the SLA timer. This information is used in conjunction with milestone events gathered as the trade moves through the enterprise.

All trade lifecycle events must be reported to the GTR and positively acknowledged. Any parsing or validation errors associated with the transaction will be reported back to the SD as a NACK message. Monitoring systems must be able to manage the workflow associated with the NACK messages and ensure that reason codes are reported back to trade support for resolution. It is also important that Compliance can easily identify trade reports that did not conclude with a valid ACK message.

States specific requirements for the management of timestamps by swap dealers and major swap participants. These include recording the time to the nearest second when data is transmitted to a registered swap data repository for public dissemination.

Even when a third party entity is used to report a transaction, the swap dealer remains fully responsible for adhering to the regulation and it is therefore vital that Compliance departments can view and monitor transactions and validate key elements such as reporting party determination/override or presence of key fields such as Unique Swap Identifier (USI).

CFTC has defined number of specific “Reporting Windows” for counterparties to adhere to, depending on the swap characteristics and type of trade report. These windows are also scheduled to change one year after compliance.

It is essential that any compliance department can reconcile their reporting activities at the end of the day against the daily reports generated by the GTR.
