Reporting Transaction Data to Price Index Developers

The Office of Enforcement (OE) learned that some companies have encountered problems with software used to report transaction data to price index developers. The problem arose because of an unscheduled holiday from trading. OE urges companies reporting transaction data to price index developers to check their reporting software and processes to make certain they have the flexibility to handle such situations and to ensure that accurate transaction data is submitted to price index developers.
