Trade Processing: Reporting

A report is an account which provides information, obtained through investigation and/or system data interrogation, and is published for the benefit of others. Numerous reports are created by people in trade processing teams for traders, operations staff and operations managers.

The internal reporting requirements under Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and the external reporting required under the different regulatory standards are explored.
