Information

· What evidence do regulators now expect firms to produce to demonstrate surveillance effectiveness and fit-for-purpose models, beyond simply evidencing coverage?
· How is the Market Abuse Risk Assessment (MARA) evolving from a static risk matrix into a dynamic, front-office-owned process? What does this mean in practice?
· How central is data completeness and quality to demonstrating surveillance effectiveness, and where are firms still finding the biggest gaps?
· Beyond regulators, how are firms evidencing effectiveness and ROI internally to perspective of surveillance as a cost centre to commercial enabler?
