Navigating EMIR and MIFIR Compliance and Regulatory Reporting Requirements: Expert-Led Workshop on October 3, 2025.

The article discusses a workshop on compliance and regulatory reporting for EMIR and MIFIR regulations, which will be held on October 3, 2025. The workshop covers all aspects of regulatory reporting, including organisational scope, data validation, data sourcing, and asset class/instrument identification. The trainer has experience in the sector and advises various organisations, providing a good understanding of challenges and solutions. Attendees will learn about key aspects of regulatory reporting, implementation of EMIR and MIFIR, and the impact on front, middle, and back office processes. The workshop is targeted at heads of trading, investment, portfolio management, operations, and business risk, as well as key control functions and senior managers in audit, compliance, risk, and operations.

FTI Consulting has appointed Steven Casey as a Senior Managing Director in its Economic Consulting segment, signaling a strategic pivot towards high-demand risk and regulatory consulting services. The move reflects the growing complexity and demands of the regulatory landscape, driven by digitized frameworks, AI tools, and ESG compliance requirements.

The global risk consulting market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.5% through 2033, fueled by digitized regulatory frameworks, AI-powered compliance tools, and the urgent need for ESG alignment [1]. FTI Consulting's appointment of Casey, with his expertise in public policy and AI analytics, aligns with this market trend. His experience in advising Commonwealth ministers and leading economic strategy at KPMG and Quantium Telstra positions him to tackle complex fiscal and infrastructure challenges, while scaling FTI's economic consulting platform across Australia and the Asia-Pacific [2].

FTI Consulting's strategic focus on risk and regulatory services is critical in a world where 85% of general counsel expect corporate risk and legal demand to accelerate [3]. The firm's services span Bank Secrecy Act/AML compliance, third-party risk management, and privacy law adherence, including the EU AI Act. This specialization is essential in a market where ESG consulting is expanding at a staggering 15.16% CAGR, as companies scramble to meet sustainability benchmarks [4].

However, the path forward is not without challenges. Consultant attrition remains a risk for FTI's Economic Consulting segment, as competition for top talent in regulatory and AI-driven advisory roles intensifies [5]. Yet, FTI's emphasis on hyper-specialized expertise positions it to differentiate itself in a crowded market. The appointment also aligns with regional growth opportunities: Australia's public sector is under pressure to modernize services and adopt technology, a trend Casey’s experience directly addresses [6].

For investors, FTI Consulting's leadership transition reflects a calculated response to a global consulting industry increasingly defined by niche expertise and technological integration. As regulatory complexity and ESG demands continue to rise, firms that can offer tailored, AI-enhanced solutions will outperform. Casey’s appointment is not just a personnel move—it is a signal of FTI’s commitment to leading in a market poised for sustained growth.
