The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Bank of England have opened a call for expressions of interest from market participants to join a new Transaction and Post-trade Reporting Taskforce, intended to inform their long-term approach to harmonising transaction and post-trade reporting requirements. Work will be organised across three working groups co-chaired by the FCA and the Bank: a Policy group focused on harmonising data collected under UK MiFIR, UK EMIR and UK SFTR and reviewing proposals to simplify reporting; a Strategy group to provide industry insight on simplification and explore benefits for firms’ wider wholesale market activity; and an Architecture group to identify how modern technology, architecture and data could streamline reporting. Members will be senior representatives from firms involved in transaction and post-trade reporting, appointed in a personal capacity, with the FCA and the Bank seeking balanced representation across wholesale market firm types and diversity of membership. Appointments are expected to run for an initial 18 months before review, and groups will generally meet every two months. Applications close on 23 April 2026, and the FCA and the Bank will announce taskforce members in due course.
