Regulatory Reporting 2027: Report Less. Prove More.
Reporting reform is accelerating across the UK and Europe. Regulators are pushing for simpler reporting and lower cost, while data-quality expectations, analytics and AI-enabled supervision continue to rise.
In this episode of RegCast Season 8: Below the Waterline, PJ Di Giammarino speaks with Pierre Khemdoudi, Co-founder and CEO of Gentek, about what this means for the regulatory reporting stack.
The FCA estimates its UK MiFIR reforms could reduce annual industry reporting costs by £108 million. At the same time, ESMA is advancing reporting simplification, data quality and more technology-enabled supervision.
Pierre brings the discussion down to one practical test:
Pick one reported field. Can you explain why it was reported, where the data came from, what interpretation applied and what logic produced the final value?
If that takes ten days of technology effort, the underlying complexity has not disappeared.
PJ and Pierre discuss:
- UK MiFIR transaction reporting reform
- FCA PS26/15 and the £108m cost opportunity
- ESMA reporting simplification
- Digital Regulatory Reporting and ISDA DRR
- regulatory data lineage and traceability
- AI and agentic workflows in regulatory reporting
- data quality and supervisory analytics
- shifting control upstream without adding more headcount
- structural cost reduction and the 2027 reporting agenda
The management challenge for 2027 is simple:
