FIF to Provide Regulators with Observations of Initial CAT Go-Live Challenges

FIF continues to work closely  with industry member stakeholders and the regulators to support the efficient transition to CAT testing and production go-live dates.  FIF has gathered substantial feedback from our industry member firms concerning identified issues that may pose challenges in CAT as additional validations go-live.  FIF is in the process of drafting a letter in an effort to promote open communication with the regulators concerning  current and anticipated challenges to the regulators.  FIF will review a draft of the letter during the July 1, 2:00pm CAT Tech Spec Working Group meeting.  Please consider submitting feedback concerning challenges your firm has experienced to fifinfo@fif.com.
