Reference Data Testing

Often overlooked, incorrect reference data accounts for nearly half of all regulatory reporting errors.

Robust testing of reference data should therefore be a key element of any reporting assurance process.

Key features

  • Executes a range of tests to counterparty and instrument reference data to check for both accuracy and completeness
  • Full population of reference data is tested for complete mappings to the appropriate identifiers
  • Assesses the use and allocation of internal identifiers
  • Normalises legal name and address
  • Real-time checking of Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs)
  • For MiFIR, EMIR, DFA, SFTR, HKMA, ASIC and other G20 regulations.
