The Critical Need for Daily Independent Assurance in MiFIR Reporting

Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (MiFIR) transaction reporting requirements place a significant burden on investment firms to ensure complete and accurate data submission. The National Competent Authorities (NCAs) mandate that firms must have robust systems and controls in place to ensure the accuracy and completeness of transaction reports. Independent assurance testing is crucial for truly validating MiFIR compliance.


Many firms rely solely on acceptance by Approved Reporting Mechanisms (ARMs) or NCAs, but this can create a false sense of security. Some firms conduct monthly or quarterly sample-based testing, whereas the n-Tier platform can provide fully automated daily assurance for 100% of transactions submitted.

How n-Tier Delivers Robust MiFIR Assurance:

n-Tier’s platform provides automated, independent assurance testing for 100% of trades submitted daily, identifying discrepancies and enhancing compliance.

  • Ingests daily NCA submissions, via MDP (Market Data Processor).
  • Reconstructs reports from original source data for true validation.
  • Connects to multiple sources, including OMS(s), FIX logs, Product Data, and Customer Data to reconstruct MiFIR reports, rather than connecting to one transformed data source.
  • Provides a consolidated view of all the data to manage the correction process.
  • Applies enhanced, client-specific customizable validation using the zero-code environment.
  • Highlights discrepancies for manual or automated correction.
  • Enables cross-report analytics across multiple reporting regimes.
