Advertise on podcast: The REGIS-TR RoundUp

Start 2026 with practical, hands-on guidance for improving operations and regulatory reporting. Join our virtual studio with special guests Igor Kaplun and Jonathan Tsang from Cappitech as we focus on optimising operational and reporting data flows from front office through to post-trade. We're discussing RegTech and RegOps strategy, data quality, reconciliations, and how firms can use this regulatory “quiet period” — with no major rewrites or refits expected in the next six months — to fix internal processes, controls, and operating models. Our guests bring deep, practical experience working with market participants across asset classes and will share what works, what doesn’t, and where firms should invest time and effort now to reduce risk and costs later. Plus, as always, analysis and perspective from our Trade Repository team.

In this feature-length show, we chat to Will Parry, Senior Manager in the Bank of England’s FMI Analytics Division, which sits in the Bank’s Financial Stability area.  We discuss data policy and the Bank’s use of the EMIR TR, SFTR and CCP Supervisory collections, the Bank’s largest structured datasets. With 100 million rows of data coming in per day, we also discuss the challenges and the granular insights now possible in UK markets, and what this means for the Bank, the FCA, and HM Treasury. Plus our usual Christmas messages from past guests and some lively chat about regulation, Arsenal and the age-old question of how to spend Christmas in the office as deadlines loom...

In this special feature-length show, recorded live in Zurich, we hear from industry experts and market participants on their view of the reporting scene in 2025, ESMA's call for evidence, and the challenges ahead for 2026.

Along with regular hosts Laura Rodríguez and Andrew Keith Walker, this episode is a masterclass on getting ready for T+1. It's possibly an even bigger challenge than EMIR Refit... are you ready?
