The last decade has shown a steadily more demanding regulatory environment for the alternative investment funds' sector. This is also evident on the reporting side: as per the ESMA guidelines on reporting obligations under Articles 3(3)(d) and 24(1), (2) and (4) of the AIFMD, AIF managers have to report on their activities to the national competent authority of their domiciled country or distribution country. Additionally, following the Brexit in the United Kingdom, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) requires AIFMs to submit a special “AIFMD transparency reporting” in accordance with UK technical requirements and using their own dedicated platform “RegData”.
PwC’s Academy has developed a training providing participants with the right level of knowledge to understand the above regulations and identify their reporting obligations.
