SFTR revisited: How can European markets benefit from digital regulatory reporting?

Press
Thursday 11th June 2026

In the latest publication of the Journal of Financial Compliance (Henry Stewart Publications) our CEO and Founder, Laurent-Olivier Labeis (Leo), and Adrian Dale, Head of Market Structure, Digital & RegTech at the International Securities Lending Association (ISLA), explore SFTR and the future of regulatory reporting.

They describe SFTR as a “landmark step towards transparency” in securities financing markets. But as reporting requirements have evolved, complexity remains a major challenge for firms.

The paper explores key SFTR pressure points, including:

• lifecycle event reporting

• data granularity

• valuation mismatches

• schema constraints

• regulatory divergence

Leo believes Digital Regulatory Reporting offers a practical path forward, by emulating its widening adoption for derivatives reporting led by ISDA.

Powered by the Common Domain Model (CDM), DRR turns regulatory requirements into machine-executable code, helping firms reduce ambiguity and ensure the “same trade always produces the same predictable report”.

The paper sets out a phased route to adoption in securities finance, with market-led use of CDM and DRR helping to improve data quality and reduce the cost and complexity of compliance.

Data Modelling

Take an existing data pipeline of any form…

Just choose among your existing business processes to experiment a model-driven approach in +/- 2 days.

We can start from any kind of artefact, from XML messages down to Excel or even PDF documents.

… To demonstrate the model-driven approach…

Our team of data engineering experts works in immersion with you and guide the process from start to finish.

Our promise: some executable data pipeline running based on your model by the end of the workshop.

… Which you can deploy within your organisation

All it takes is a cross-functional team of developers and non-developers, who is open to a fresh (and fun!) approach.

The buck doesn’t stop there. That team is now empowered to carry that project forward and build model-based pipelines for your organisation.
