SUMMARY:Regulatory Reporting Briefing
DESCRIPTION:Preparing for the EMIR Refit \nRegTech Insight is proud to announce the launch of its half day Regulatory Reporting Briefing taking place in London and focusing on: Preparing for the EMIR Re-Fit. \nWith ESMA having recently published the final reporting validations for EMIR Refit\, financial institutions must be ready for the go-live date of 29 April 2024 in Europe and 30 September 2024 in the UK. \nSignificant challenges include managing the cost and complexity of regulatory divergence between the EU And UK; sourcing data for additional reportable fields\, a focus on data quality\, and a shift to reporting using ISO 20022 XML; introducing the UPI; changes to the UTI\, and identifying and fixing errors within a tighter timeframe. Given the scale of these operational challenges\, financial institutions must ensure their reporting models are agile and flexible enough to handle the scope and volume of changes coming in. \nJoin our morning briefing to explore how to prepare for the implementation of EMIR Refit. Hear from our expert speakers as they talk through the impact of the EMIR Refit requirements and provide practical guidance and advice on how to approach implementation and compliance. \nTopics include: \n\nDefining EMIR Refit requirements and the impact on existing systems\nHow to manage EU-UK regulatory divergence for EMIR Reporting – go live dates\, delegated reporting\nHow to manage changes to existing reportable fields\nMeeting the demands of data sourcing for additional reportable fields\nDevelopments in data standardisation and harmonisation – the role of the UPI and UTI\nHow to ensure a robust control framework to manage data quality accuracy and completeness\nAddressing the challenges of achieving reporting using ISO 20022 XML\nMaking sure reconciliation processes and exceptions management are fit for purpose\nThe role of cloud\, AI\, APIs and blockchain in providing data management efficiencies and automation in EMIR ReFit reporting\nOpportunities of getting EMIR Refit right\, challenges of getting it wrong\n\n\nAgenda\nPreparing for the EMIR Re-Fit \n\n\n\n\n08:15\n\n\nRegistration & Networking \n\n\n\n\n09:00\n\n\nOpening and Welcome\n \n\n\n\n\n09:05\n\n\nRegulator Keynote: Preparing for EMIR Refit \n\nReporting requirements for EMIR Refit\nA focus on data quality\nKey messages and implementation priorities for market participants\n\n\n\n\n\n09:30\n\n\nPanel: EMIR Refit – Tackling key data challenges for reporting\n \n\nHow should firms prepare for EU and UK regulatory divergence for EMIR reporting in 2024?\nHow should firms manage changes to existing reportable fields and data sourcing for additional reportable fields?\nWhat are the developments in data standardisation and harmonisation and how best to enrich and validate reference data with the UPI and UTI?\nHow should firms  ensure a robust control framework to manage data quality accuracy and completeness?\nWhat are the considerations around investing in technology and working with 3rd parties to help ease the reporting burden?\n\n\n\n\n\n10:15\n\n\nKeynote: Best practice approaches for EMIR Implementation \n\n\n\n\n10:35\n\n\nNetworking and refreshment break \n\n\n\n\n11:00\n\n\nPanel: Leveraging RegTech and automation for EMIR Refit reporting efficiencies  \n\nHow can firms apply what has been learned from earlier reporting initiatives for a smooth implementation?\nWhat are the best approaches for getting systems and platforms ready for the automated ISO 20022 XML reporting format?\nWhat role do cloud and SaaS solutions play in streamlining processes and improving agility and flexibility in reporting platforms\, so they are ready to handle future regulatory change?\nHow can automation be harnessed for more efficient reconciliation management and how best to approach this?\nHow can firms ensure the right mix of technology\, people and expertise to effectively deliver the required changes for EMIR Re-fit?\n\n\n\n\n\n11:45\n\n\nEnds

SUMMARY:The IA Sustainability and Responsible Investment Conference 2023
DESCRIPTION:The IA Sustainability and Responsible Investment Conference 2023 – Resilience in adversity \nGroup discount: use the promotional code GROUP for 20% discount on bookings of five or more people. \nIn recent years\, there has been a true sense of momentum behind sustainability and responsible investment. The Paris Agreement brought all nations into a common cause to take action and the UK hosting COP26 intensified interest in climate change domestically. With investor demand for sustainable and responsible investments soaring\, the investment management industry was placed at the forefront of change and in a position to play an instrumental role in the transition to a more sustainable and prosperous future. \nIn the past 12 months\, there has been a sense that this momentum might be lost. The tremendous toll of the COVID-19 crisis\, the Russian invasion of Ukraine\, and the global cost-of-living crisis have cast doubt on climate commitments and uncertainty amongst governments and global clients. In addition\, as more regulatory standards are introduced\, both in the UK and internationally\, there is a real sense of challenge in the pursuit of sustainability and responsible investment. \nPlease join us at the 5th annual IA Sustainability & Responsible Investment Conference on 25 May to explore these themes and how we together can continue to affect change\, drive excellence for our clients and move the dial towards a more sustainable economy\, society\, and planet. \nSessions include:  \n\nCEO panel: Global Challenges pushing Sustainability and Responsible Investing into new territory\nDefining ambition\, shaping investible opportunities and overcoming data challenges\nClients at the core of where we go next with Sustainable and Responsible Investing\nWorking together towards globally comparable standards that support good client outcomes\nAnd a keynote speech from Baroness Penn\, Parliamentary Secretary with responsibility for ESG in HM Treasury\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme subject to slight changes \n\n\n09:00 – Registration & Refreshments  \n\n\n\n09:30 – Welcome and Opening Remarks \n\nPatrick Thomson\, IA Chair and CEO Europe\, Middle East & Africa\, JP Morgan \n\n\n09:45 – CEO Panel: Global Challenges pushing Sustainability and Responsible Investing into new territory  \n\nModerator: Galina Dimitrova\, Director\, Investment & Capital Markets\, The Investment Association \n\nMark Versey\, CEO\, AVIVA\nPeter Harrison\, CEO\, Schroders\nStephen Cohen\, Senior Managing Director & Head of EMEA\, Blackrock\nAlexandra Altinger\, CEO\, J O Hambro\n\n\n\n10:30 – Virtual Fireside chat  \n\n\nHelena Vines Fiesta\, Chair of EU Platform on Sustainable Finance\nCarol Thomas\, Head of Sustainability and Responsible Investments\, The Investment Association\n\n\n\n10:45 – Networking break \n\n\n\n11:10 – Panel: Clients at the core of where we go next with Sustainable and Responsible Investing  \n\nModerator: Carol Thomas\, Head of Sustainability and Responsible Investments\, The Investment Association \n\nMark Manning\, Technical Specialist – ESG Unit\, FCA\nEmma Wall\, Head of Investment Analysis & Research\, Hargreaves Lansdown\nStephanie Maier\, Global Head of Sustainable and Impact Investment\, GAM Investments & Deputy Chair of IA S&RI Committee\nTBC\n\n\n\n12:00 – Biodiversity and the Blue Economy: surfing the wave of opportunity for nature finance \n\nSonali Siriwardena\, Partner – Globa Head of ESG\, Simmons & Simmons LLP \n\n\n12:15 – Lunch & networking break \n\n\n\n13:15 – Keynote session \n\nBaroness Penn Baroness Penn\, Parliamentary Secretary with responsibility for ESG in HM Treasury \n\n\n13:45 – Panel: Defining ambition\, shaping investible opportunities and overcoming data challenges   \n\nModerator: Miranda Seath\, Director of Market Insight & Fund Sectors\, The Investment Association \n\nClive Emery\, Head of Multi-Asset Strategies\, Invesco\nNeville White\, Head of Responsible and Sustainable Policy and Research\, Edentree Investment Management\nLaura Vitagliano\, Head of Sustainable Finance Strategy Client Engagement\, BNP Paribas Securities Services\nCatalina Secreteanu\, Head of ESG Market Strategy\, Sustainalytics\n\n\n\n14:35 – Networking break \n\n\n\n14:50 – How reliable is sustainability data and where are the common areas? \n\nJohanna Conil-Lacoste\, Clarity AI (a partner of CACEIS) \n\n\n15:20 – Presentation: New technologies to support net zero \n\n\nMaanch\nESGi\nNet Purpose\n\n\n\n15:45 – Panel: Collective action and global sustainability standards \n\nModerator: Paul Scaping\, Public Policy Specialist\, Capital Markets\, The Investment Association \n\nEmily McKenzie\, Technical Director\, Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD)\nCarey Buxton\, Partner\, Brown Advisory\nJulie Baddeley\, Chair\, Chapter Zero (Member of TPT Delivery Group)\nRonan Hodge\, Technical Lead\, Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ)\n\n\n\n16:30 – Closing remarks \n\nGalina Dimitrova\, Director\, Investment & Capital Markets\, The Investment Association \n\n\n16:40 – Drinks reception
