What's happening

Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft has paid a $2 million penalty after ASIC found the bank misreported more than 260,000 over-the-counter (OTC) derivative transactions, undermining the accuracy of data used to monitor Australia's financial markets. ASIC issued an infringement notice for breaches of the ASIC Derivative Transaction Rules, and this is the bank's second fine this year. Deutsche Bank did not admit guilt or liability in relation to the penalty.

Why it's trending

Because regulators are tightening enforcement on trade-reporting accuracy and large data-quality failures are being uncovered and fined now.
