Fully managed ESMA Article 7 reporting
Managing reporting under ESMA Article 7 requires more than technical delivery. Firms must maintain accurate, consistent and transparent reporting under increasing regulatory scrutiny, while coordinating complex data flows across stakeholders, systems and jurisdictions. Poor governance and inconsistent reporting can lead to delays, data inconsistencies and heightened regulatory risk.
IQ-EQ provides fully managed ESMA Article 7 reporting support across the securitisation lifecycle. Combining regulatory expertise, operational oversight and technology-enabled reporting frameworks, we help issuers, originators and sponsors deliver accurate, audit-ready reporting aligned with evolving EU securitisation requirements.
Under Article 7 of the EU Securitisation Regulation, originators, sponsors and securitisation special purpose entities (SSPEs) are required to provide structured, standardised disclosures to investors and regulators.
These disclosures typically include:
- Information on underlying exposures
- Transaction documentation
- Cashflows, waterfalls and credit enhancement
- Key structural features and triggers
Reporting must be provided before investment and on an ongoing basis, including quarterly or monthly for certain programmes, in line with ESMA transparency requirements.
