BearingPoint has expanded its ABACUS/Transactions software with a new Securities Financing Transactions Regulation (SFTR) module, which helps institutions comply with the reporting obligations.

Bodo Windmoeller, BearingPoint’s chief product officer, regtech, said: “Market actors tend to underestimate the complexity drivers. Myriad regulations make financial services increasingly complex and costly.”

“Reporting institutions can rely on the various ABACUS/Transactions modules to reduce the negative effects of the ever-increasing regulatory requirements.”

He continued: “Our tried-and-tested solution already supports various types of transaction-based reports, ranging from European Markets Infrastructure Regulation, FMIA/FinfraG, Credit Support Annex and Money Market Statistical Reporting to the second Markets in Financial Instruments Directive/Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation, and now, SFTR. Our clients can make the most use of synergies along the regulatory value chain.”

Alexander Becht, product manager for ABACUS/Transactions at BearingPoint, commented: “We have already adopted the established EMIR reporting logic and infrastructure within our SFTR module, enabling the automatic generation and submission of reports to the trade repositories from within the solution.”

He added: “ABACUS/Transactions has been in use since 2014 and has become well-established in the market, with renowned clients in seven countries successfully using the software to comply with several transaction-based reporting schemes.”
