The regulatory landscape in U.S. capital markets has evolved dramatically in the last decade, and at the heart of this evolution lies one of the most ambitious data surveillance initiatives to date — the Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT). Designed to improve transparency, detect market abuse, and streamline regulatory oversight, the FINRA CAT has become a compliance priority for all broker-dealers operating in the securities markets. At Capital Market Solutions , we help firms navigate the complexities of CAT compliance with tailored solutions that ensure accurate reporting, risk mitigation, and audit readiness. What Is the Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT)? The Consolidated Audit Trail is an SEC-mandated system designed to collect and centralize all order, quote, and trade data for equities and options across U.S. markets. Implemented under SEC Rule 613, CAT provides regulators with a single, comprehensive view of trading activity — from origination to execution. https://capmarketsolutions.com/ https://capmarketsolutions.com/ End
