Transaction Reconciliation
Silent Errors in Your MiFID Transaction Reports
MiFID Transaction Reporting | Troubleshooting

The regulators are fully aware of the frequency in which you are conducting reconciliations.
A key component of performing a reconciliation is the regulator’s data – for the FCA, this is called the MDP file. To obtain the MDP file, executing entities must request the transaction reporting data extract from the MDP portal.
In Market Watch 70 the FCA fired another shot across the bow when it released figures on the number of executing firms requesting/downloading the MDP data.
This is the second time they have issued reminder as in Market Watch 65, they reminded firms that “MiFID II regulations (RTS 22, Article 15, Clause 3) requires firms to have arrangements in place to ensure transaction reports are complete and accurate. This includes testing and regular reconciliation against samples of trade data.”
