Changing regulatory requirements, new communication platforms and rapidly growing data volumes can make compliance daunting. Enterprises are struggling to manage surveillance and investigations across various communication sources — managing trade data further exacerbates the issue. A complex and dynamic regulatory environment requires an integrated, up-to-the-minute approach to compliance. LSEG Compliance Archive provides supervision and surveillance tools, cutting-edge investigative functionality, advanced reporting and immutable storage for central banks.

Central banks play a supervisory role in trading of currency. It needs visibility of the trading practices of financial institutions to police any breach or potential breach of regulations.
