What is back reporting?

Many firms need to back report

Back reporting is the process of submitting trade data and reports after the submission deadline has passed. The reasons behind the need to back report vary but typically come down to errors or omissions in the data requiring resubmission.

Submitting accurate data to the regulator is essential in ensuring compliance and maintaining a high standard of operational excellence.

As regulatory standards continue to evolve, it's vital that firms aim to stay ahead of reporting requirements.

What are the consequences of back reporting?

Back reporting should be tackled at the earliest opportunity

Failure to comply with back reporting isn't an option, it's a legal obligation and regulatory authorities will expect accurate data to be submitted in a timely manner.

This means back reporting is a challenge that should be tackled at the earliest opportunity.

As back reporting is submitting financial or reporting data after a deadline, firms that do so can be met with a number of possible penalties, these include:

  • Fines or financial penalties

  • Increased attention from the regulator

  • Damage to reputation

  • Operational restrictions

  • Removal or suspension of licences

  • Loss of clients

The severity of the punishment is linked to the duration of the delay. The longer the delay, the greater the likelihood of a severe punishment highlighting the importance of delivering remedial action as soon as possible.
