Two of the aspects of derivatives trade reporting that have created the most pain for both reporting firms and regulators are unique transaction identifiers (UTIs) and Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs). They also have the potential to create difficulties for market participants in Securities Financing transaction reporting under SFTR.
