Episode 3: Building for Control — MiFID III, DRR, and the Architecture of Trust

On 23 July 2025, the FCA issued its second major warning in 180 days. Market Watch 82 makes it clear: firms must fix the quality of their transaction reporting data or face escalating consequences.

In this episode of RegCast, PJ Di Giammarino is joined by Dawd Haque (Deutsche Bank, Chair of the Bank of England and FCA’s Data Standards Committee) and Grant Haley (First Derivative) to tackle the hard truths behind today's transaction reporting, Digital Regulatory Reporting (DRR) and what machine-readable compliance really demands.

📌 What’s inside:
✔️ Why machine-readable reporting is now expected
✔️ How DRR and the Common Domain Model (CDM) reshape control frameworks
✔️ What firms need to build now to meet 2027 deadlines
✔️ How to reduce execution risk and avoid capital impact under the ECB’s SREP

This is no longer just a tech or compliance issue. It is about rebuilding trust in regulatory reporting from the ground up.
