Legal Entity Identification for Financial Contracts

Published on:
January 31, 2011

SIFMA, The Clearing House Association L.L.C. (TCH), the Enterprise Data Management Council (EDM Council), the Financial Services Roundtable (FSR), the Futures Industry Association (FIA), the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA), the Investment Company Institute (ICI), and the Managed Funds Association (MFA) provide comments to the U.S. Department of Treasury on the Department’s Statement on Legal Entity Identification for Financial Contracts (LEI Statement). The associations offer their experience and expertise to help the Treasury Department’s Office of Financial Research (OFR) and other U.S. and foreign regulators develop and establish a system of uniform legal entity identifiers (LEIs).  The associations believe a system of uniform LEIs will help Treasury carry out the mandate of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) for Treasury to measure and evaluate systemic risk in the financial system.
