Point Nine

Strong discussions this morning at the Global RegTech Summit 2026 in London, including George Osborne’s keynote on geopolitical fragmentation, regulatory divergence, and the accelerating role of AI in reshaping global financial services.

One of the key themes emerging from today’s sessions is that firms are operating in increasingly complex regulatory environments, where resilience, governance, transparency, and scalable oversight are becoming strategic priorities rather than operational considerations.

The conversation around AI was particularly relevant. As organisations move from experimentation towards operational adoption, the focus is shifting towards how AI can enhance compliance, regulatory reporting, surveillance, and risk management while maintaining accountability, control, and trust.

At Point Nine, we continue to support firms in simplifying regulatory complexity through scalable compliance operating models, stronger assurance frameworks, and intelligent regulatory transformation aligned to evolving global expectations.

Great to connect with industry leaders, technology innovators, and compliance professionals shaping the future of RegTech and financial services transformation.

ESMA moves forward with simplifying EU reporting frameworks, and this time the focus is both on funds reporting and transaction reporting.

ESMA has published a new package aimed at reducing the complexity of regulatory reporting across funds and transactions.

At a high level, the goal is simple:
👉 reduce duplication
👉 improve data quality
👉 make reporting more efficient for firms and regulators

A key concept being introduced is “report once” - meaning firms would no longer need to submit the same data multiple times across different regimes.
For funds reporting, ESMA is moving toward a single EU-wide reporting framework with a common template. This would replace today’s fragmented national approaches and improve consistency across the market.

For transaction reporting, ESMA acknowledges the current challenges, overlapping rules, dual reporting, and multiple systems - and is exploring ways to streamline reporting across EMIR, MiFIR and SFTR.

What’s next?

ESMA will develop technical standards (RTS/ITS) for the new funds reporting framework next year
A phased implementation will follow, starting with AIFMD and UCITS reporting
On transaction reporting, ESMA will continue engaging with the industry and publish final recommendations by mid-2026, supported by a full cost-benefit analysis

Why this matters

This is a clear signal that regulators are finally addressing one of the biggest industry pain points - fragmented and duplicative reporting.
If delivered properly, this could significantly reduce operational burden while improving the quality of regulatory data.

Point Nine will continue to monitor these changes closely, providing the support and expertise needed for our clients to navigate the evolving regulatory landscape. Do you need help navigating the changes in your transaction reporting? Get in touch with Point Nine today.

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has sanctioned REGIS-TR for serious organisational breaches.

This action highlights a clear message: regulatory reporting is not just about submitting trades, it’s about governance, controls, and operational resilience.

Firms should review their oversight of reporting arrangements and ensure strong data quality and reconciliation monitoring.

At Point Nine, we support clients with controlled, end-to-end EMIR and multi-regime reporting built on stability and transparency.
