In May 2014, the FCA published Guidance Consultation 14/2: Revision of Transaction Reporting User Pack Version 3, proposing clarification to certain parts of the transaction reporting user pack. The FCA has now published Finalised Guidance 15/3: Version 3.1 of the Transaction Reporting User Pack, alongside a document highlighting the changes.
The areas that have been clarified include:
- that the transaction reports a firm sends for its transactions must accurately reflect the change in position for the firm and its client(s) resulting from the transactions;
- that a firm hitting its own order on a trading venue should transaction report the resultant transaction;
- how the unit price should be reported for different instruments;
- how to report the venue for a transaction; and
- what we expected for transaction reporting arrangements within firms.
