Qomply Hosts EMIR Refit Breakfast Roundtable

The European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) has undergone substantial revisions with the introduction of EMIR Refit. April 2024 marks the start of EMIR Refit in the EU, with the UK adopting the same regime, with minor rule adjustments, five months later.

Trade bodies, like ISDA and the Investment Association, have been holding regular working groups to address the remaining challenges firms face in complying with the regulations. With roughly 6 months to go until EMIR Refit launches in the EU, many questions remain.

For those who have not been involved in the working groups, this session is a great chance to gain insight into the major pressure points faced by peers in the industry. In case you're unable to attend this roundtable, we encourage you to explore our other events.

Michelle Zak will host Qomply’s breakfast roundtable in the City of London at the beautiful grade-II listed One Moorgate Place.

From three complementary standpoints, the round table discussion will cover topics pertaining to the major challenges facing firms and the remaining questions with regard to clarification of the regulations.

Both panellists, Alex Chow and Andrew Bayley, have led working groups for their respective trade bodies. They have a first-hand view of challenges and concerns across the industry as the race to GO-Live commences.

Alex Chow, from the Investment Association, leverages his decade-long industry experience to lead policy development for IA's members. With an active commitment to collaborating with regulators and industry stakeholders to advance best practices, he primary focuses on post-trade and trade reporting workflows.

Andrew Bayley, from ISDA, specializes in EU and UK regulatory reporting, particularly EMIR and MiFID. During his time at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, he contributed to the implementation of several global regulatory initiatives. Additionally, Andrew’s work extends to the Digital Regulatory Reporting (DRR) project, which aims to transform trade reporting rules into machine-readable code.

Michelle will not only moderate the session but also add context to some of the issues that continue to challenge firms. She will share her insights gained from overseeing a technology company that checks the accuracy of billions of transactions a year.

Places are extremely limited and we request that you only reserve a space if you are certain you are able to attend.

For those unable to attend in-person, the event will be livestreamed.
