Who is this guide for?

Compliance, operations, and regulatory reporting teams at UK firms trading derivatives who need to manage reporting under both UK MiFIR and UK EMIR Refit.

What will I learn from the guide?

Where dual reporting arises, the highest-impact overlaps and differences, and the operational challenges that typically follow (including reconciliation and dataset consistency).

Why do some derivatives trades need to be reported under both regimes?

Because the regimes serve different regulatory objectives, but derivatives activity can trigger obligations under both frameworks. The guide explains where this overlap occurs and why.

Does the guide cover practical field-level differences?

Yes. It highlights key areas where firms commonly see divergence (such as counterparty identification and lifecycle/event reporting) and why this matters for controls and data quality.

Does it include the latest regulatory direction of travel?

Yes. It summarises relevant FCA thinking and proposals aimed at reducing reporting burden, and what those developments could mean for firms.
