ISDA Releases FAQ For End-Users On Canadian Derivatives Trade Reporting Obligations And Standardized Representations

As a follow-up to our earlier posts, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) has developed, in consultation with industry participants in the ISDA Canada Working Group, a number of useful tools for buy-side participants, including asset managers, fund managers and other non-dealer market participants or "end-users" in the Canadian OTC derivatives markets.  On May 23, ISDA published a FAQ for Non-Dealers on Canadian Trade Reporting Obligations which outlines key regulatory requirements relating to the reporting of derivatives transaction data and the procedures developed by the derivatives industry to facilitate dealer and end-user compliance with the new requirements under Rule 91-507 as adopted by the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC), the Manitoba Securities Commission (MSC) and the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF).
