ACA Regulatory Reporting Monitoring & Assurance Support (ARRMA)

Our award-winning regulatory reporting solution helps firms identify and correct EMIR and MiFIR transaction reporting errors before they are flagged by regulators.

MiFIR transaction reporting is crucial for market abuse surveillance, while EMIR trade reporting ensures systemic risk monitoring, driving increased regulatory scrutiny on data accuracy, completeness, and timeliness.

ARRMA integrates regulatory technology (RegTech) with expert consulting to detect MiFIR and EMIR reporting errors, reducing reliance on costly internal resources. Our findings show 97% of EMIR/MiFIR reports contain errors, with an average of 30 unique reporting issues per submission.

Unlike standard trade reporting solutions, ARRMA delivers independent report validation, exception management, and remediation support, helping firms maintain compliance and mitigate regulatory risk.
