As global market abuse regulations tighten, financial firms face a new era of transparency and oversight. From the EU’s MAR and MiFID II to the U.S. SEC, FINRA and CFTC, regulators are raising the bar for surveillance, data quality, and real-time compliance.

The message is clear, intent is no longer enough demonstrable, audit-ready performance is the new standard. Is your firm ready to move beyond compliance and turn robust surveillance into a competitive edge?

Discover how FD’s Regulatory Compliance & Surveillance practice can help you stay ahead in 2026 and beyond.
