Transaction reporting
The Transaction Monitoring Unit (TMU) is responsible for surveillance of UK markets, the collection of transaction reports from the industry and for monitoring firms’ compliance with the transaction reporting rules as set out in SUP 17.
Notice: Deferral of Alternative Instrument Identifier (Aii) implementation
We have been working to enhance our surveillance system so that it can accept and process reports identified using the Aii code. We had planned to launch the enhanced system at the end of February, however, further work and time are required to complete our preparations. As a result, we are deferring implementation of the Aii code. A revised implementation timetable will be issued at a later date.
