Sound practices detailed in the Notice include: heightened firm scrutiny of red flags such as trading limit breaches, unrealized profit and loss on unsettled transactions, unusual patterns of cancellations and corrections, a pattern of aged fails to deliver; increased password security and other protections of firm systems and risk management information; and creating a stronger compliance culture within the firm.
The DTCC Web site has also made clear that the figure is not a daily amount of fails, but a combined figure that includes both new fails on the reporting day as well as aged fails.
