Mission
Our Mission
TARMA represents Approved Reporting Mechanisms (ARMs) across the UK and Europe, supporting their essential role in helping firms achieve accurate, complete and compliant RTS 22 transaction reporting. We champion best practices, promote industry engagement and work closely with regulators to ensure that reporting frameworks remain proportionate, practical and aligned with the goal of improved data quality.
As the regulatory landscape evolves, TARMA provides a dedicated platform for ARM-specific advocacy and engagement. Our mission is to support simplification, strengthen compliance outcomes and help ensure that regulatory expectations can be met efficiently by both ARM providers and the firms they serve.
Shaping the Future of Transaction Reporting
TARMA is committed to contributing constructively to the next phase of UK and European transaction reporting reform. We actively engage with the FCA, ESMA and European NCAs as they consult on changes to reporting standards, data models and technical requirements. Our aim is to help ensure that proposed reforms achieve their intended outcomes—enhanced accuracy, completeness and timeliness—while remaining workable and technically feasible in practice.
By engaging deep operational experience from the industry’s leading ARM providers, TARMA plays an informed role in shaping a regulatory environment that delivers high-quality data without imposing unnecessary complexity on investment firms or their reporting partners.
