ISDA has selected Gentek AI to develop a new traceability tool for the ISDA Digital Regulatory Reporting (DRR) solution, enhancing transparency for users of the ISDA DRR.
The traceability tool will allow users to look back at the history of DRR decision-making and pinpoint when and why coding choices were made, providing a full audit trail of DRR development. Using artificial intelligence (AI), the tool will extract information from minutes of ISDA working group meetings, giving firms clear visibility into how DRR coding decisions map back to regulatory reporting requirements.
The ISDA DRR uses the open-source Common Domain Model (CDM) to transform a golden-source interpretation of regulatory reporting rules into machine-executable code, making implementation more efficient and cost effective. The ISDA DRR has been applied to eight sets of reporting rules globally and ISDA is committed to supporting 14 reporting rule sets in nine jurisdictions.
ISDA launched a request for quote on October 30, 2025 seeking proposals from firms interested in developing the tool. In making the selection, ISDA considered a variety of factors, including technical and AI expertise, price and delivery time.
“Traceability is a foundational requirement for scalable, trusted digital regulatory reporting. Gentek AI demonstrated a strong alignment with ISDA’s vision for an open, auditable and AI-driven traceability framework that links regulatory text, working group decisions and DRR code in a transparent and sustainable fashion. Development of the traceability tool will strengthen confidence, consistency and accountability across the ISDA DRR ecosystem,” said David Shone, Senior Director, Data & Digital Solutions, at ISDA.
“We’re proud ISDA has chosen to work with Gentek AI on this next phase of Digital Regulatory Reporting. We’re excited to bring our AI and regulatory expertise to drive wider adoption of ISDA’s DRR standards and ultimately facilitate implementation and reduce operational costs for the industry,” said Pierre Khemdoudi, CEO at Gentek AI.
