Canadian Transaction Reporting Party Requirements

These Reporting Party Requirements establish the hierarchy and tie-breaker logic to determine a single reporting counterparty for Canadian provincial reporting. By leveraging the existing reporting party standard established for reporting to the CFTC, in most cases these rules facilitate submission of a single multiple jurisdictional report to meet the reporting requirements of both the CFTC and provincial regulators.  Originally published on April 4, 2014, the document was amended on March 20, 2015 to reflect changes in the provincial reporting requirements issued since its original publication date, and on July 8, 2025 for the Canadian OTC derivatives rule amendments going live July 25, 2025.
