Turn constant change into defensible evidence

Energy and commodity trading firms run on systems that never sit still. An E/CTRM platform such as Endur, Findur and Allegro is upgraded, patched and reconfigured many times a year, and any one of those changes can move a regulated report, a position or a number, with no trade placed.

This whitepaper explores why constant change has become a hidden regulatory risk, and what it takes to prove a change is safe before go-live, not after.

Prove it first, not after the fact

You usually find out later, in a rejected report, a breached limit, an audit finding or a regulator's letter. By then it isn't the cost of testing you're facing, it's the cost of remediation, penalty and reputation.

Download your copy to learn how to:

  • See how a routine change slips through as an E/CTRM upgrade moves a regulated output with no trade placed
  • Understand where manual testing runs out, and why screen-level checks can't reach the logic that drifts
  • Map the rules that now expect evidence: EMIR Refit, REMIT II, SOX and position-limit rules
  • Prove a change is safe before go-live with logic-level regression, before and after, and timestamped evidence
  • See the honest limits, stated plainly: what this approach does, and what it doesn't.
