The London Stock Exchange Group have developed a certified transaction reporting foundation course to provide operations and compliance staff with a thorough grounding in the regulatory transaction reporting requirements. As well as detailing the regulatory reporting data standards, the course explains the systems and controls the FSA expects firms to have over transaction reporting. All our courses are delivered by experts in the regulatory field.

The Course will be accompanied by an exam to provide evidence that the candidates have reached an appropriate level of understanding.
