By combining regulatory expertise with advanced technology, we have developed our multi-award winning automated solutions for trade and transaction reporting assurance, research and surveillance, shareholding disclosure and our Single Rulebook digital platform.
It is our forensic focus on data accuracy that sets us apart and we are proud to call many of the world’s largest banks, asset managers, hedge funds and brokers as our clients. Whether it is managing regulation, complying with market abuse regulation, reporting shareholding disclosures or reporting under MiFIR, EMIR or another G20 regulation, Kaizen helps clients reduce costs, improve data quality and meet their compliance obligations.
Business Overview
Formed in 2013, Kaizen was established after CEO & Founder Dario Crispini witnessed first-hand, while working at the UK regulator, the FCA, and within the industry, the problems many organisations faced with their regulatory reporting data quality. By combining regulatory expertise with advanced technology, Kaizen developed an innovative universal data testing method which, for the first time, gave firms full visibility of their regulatory reporting data quality.
Today, many of the world’s leading financial institutions rely on our automated ReportShield™ quality assurance services to identify their trade and transaction reporting issues.
As an innovative data and tech company, we have since expanded our product suite to include digital platforms for reporting and managing shareholding disclosures, global regulation, trade and e-comms surveillance and research management.
