On September 30, 2015, the US CFTC issued its first action enforcing new requirements issued pursuant to Dodd-Frank that provide for real-time public reporting of swap transactions and the reporting of swap data to swap data repositories, against Deutsche Bank. The Order finds that Deutsche Bank, a provisionally registered Swap Dealer, failed to properly report its swaps transactions and did not have a satisfactory supervisory system governing its swaps reporting requirements. Deutsche Bank is required to pay a $2.5 million civil monetary penalty in addition to complying with certain steps to improve its internal controls related to the accuracy of its swaps reporting.
