Panel Session -- Data Quality
Given the increase in trading activity, the number of securities being traded and the number of participants, the quality of market data is more important now than ever before. This panel session examines the current status of the quality of data and discusses the possible measurements and standards by which to gauge this quality. Panel participants provide insight on the problems and consequences created by "bad data" and explore potential options to improve data quality.
Moderator: Marc Alvarez, Interactive Data, Senior Director
Panelists:
Tom Redman, Navesink, Chief Executive Officer
Steven Birenbaum, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Senior Vice President
Steve Hansen, Societe Generale, Vice President
Panel Session- An Update on the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI)
Over the past year, efforts to to establish a legal entity identifier (LEI), which shows what a security is and who owns it or has transacted it, have spread from the US Treasury's Office of Financial Research (OFR) setting standards and recommending organizations to implement them, to other bodies such as the G20 and the Financial Stability Board (FSB) getting involved to coordinate LEI standards worldwide. In this update on the LEI, panelists will consider how LEI will be mandated in the US in 2012 and what could happen at the G20's meeting in June to develop a worldwide governance framework for LEI.
Moderator: Michael Shashoua, Inside Reference Data, Editor
Panelists:
Linda Powell, Federal Reserve Board, Chief, Economic Data Management & Analysis
Scott Preiss, Standard & Poor's, Vice President
