The requirement to report details of transactions has existed for many years but, as regulations have evolved, this has become increasingly onerous and complex. The FCA has identified improved regulatory reporting as one of its supervisory priorities, having already levied fines of varying sizes totaling more than £130m for reporting errors or omissions under MiFID and EMIR.

These latest requirements are designed to simplify a derivatives regime currently seen as burdensome to some market participants, particularly those whose risk profile is unlikely to impact macro stability.
