Adapt to MAS Changes with IVP Regulatory Reporting Solution

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) is poised to implement significant changes in 2024, likely establishing new regulatory reporting and compliance standards for financial institutions. These impending changes will require adjustments in reporting processes to enhance data management and improve overall quality. Failure to adapt to these changes will raise serious risks of non-compliance penalties, which means institutions need to invest in robust technology solutions sooner than later.

The forthcoming MAS changes mandated for 2024 include:

• UTI generation: Unique transaction identifiers (UTIs) must be generated and reported for each OTC derivative contract, following the CPMI-IOSCO Waterfall approach
• Changes to reportable fields: New fields like “package identifier” will be introduced to group transactions negotiated as a package, while “asset class” and “contract type” will become common fields, leading to a total of 134 reportable fields
• FX swap reporting: Specific product types like FX swaps must be reported as two separate contracts linked through the “FX swap link ID” field
• UPI generation: Unique product identifiers (UPIs) must be used to identify OTC derivatives products, with a possible removal of certain elements
• XML adoption: The ISO 20022 XML format will be mandated for inbound messages
