With the introduction of the  Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT) Compliance  and  Customer Account Information System (CAIS)  reporting obligations, broker-dealers are expected to manage enormous volumes of highly detailed data with speed, accuracy, and transparency. Regulators like the SEC,   FINRA CAT , and  FINRA CAIS  have made it clear: incomplete, late, or inaccurate reporting will not be tolerated.
