Recorded Webinar: Best practice timestamping and clock synchronisation

22 May 2018

Timestamping and clock synchronisation have been embedded in the EU by Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II) and are also a requirement of the US SEC Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT). The webinar will discuss how well firms have realised the MiFID II requirement, how it differs from the CAT requirement, and best practice implementation. It will also consider potential regulatory change going forward, how tighter timestamping and synchronisation could be implemented, and the benefits of compliance with these regulatory requirements.

Listen to the webinar to find out more about:

  • MiFID II and CAT requirements
  • Best practice implementation
  • Potential regulatory change
  • Technology solutions
  • Benefits of compliance
