Panel: SEF Rules – The Challenge of Implementation
It’s no secret that the rule-making process has been stressed. No Action Relief has both
mitigated and added to some of the complexity, and some Rule requirements include
conflicting rules that simply can’t be implemented within the time-constraints and certain
deficiencies in market structure. This panel will challenge that gap between what the
Regulatory Regime demands versus what is achievable by the participants. We will also
examine the inherent risk of failing to meet demands placed on the industry, whether
through Legal, Compliance, Technical Infrastructure or simply business process.
