SFTR: Repo Reporting in Practice - Livestreamed
|
This course is available on request. Contact us as at education@icmagroup.org to find out how we can deliver this training.
This course focuses on the practical aspects of reporting of repo transactions which are required under the EU Securities Financing Transactions Regulation (SFTR). It describes how and when repos (repurchase transactions and buy/sell-backs) should be reported to SFT trade repositories (subject to further clarification of some elements by ESMA), and highlights the challenges and, where possible, suggests solutions that were developed by the ICMA SFTR Task Force. A themed review of reporting fields (ie grouped into loan data, collateral data, etc), set against a repo life-cycle template, is brought together into a series of sample reports simulating different transaction configurations. Delegates will be provided with the latest version of ICMA's Recommendations for Reporting under SFTR.
The course will be delivered by Richard Comotto who is a lead member of the ICMA SFTR Task Force and author of the ICMA's Recommendations on Reporting Under SFTR.
