OATS Compliance Monthly Report Card
The OATS Compliance Report Card is a monthly status report on the number and percentage of:
- OATS Late Submissions;
- Out of Sequence Events;
- Unmatched Execution Reports;
- Unmatched Exchange Route Reports;
- Unmatched Interfirm Route Reports;
- Unmatched Interfirm Routes Received; and
- Unrepaired Repairable Rejected Order Events.
Member firms are required to submit Reportable Order Events ("ROEs") to OATS in accordance with established member rules and regulations. If your firm engages in a pattern or practice of late OATS reporting or improperly reporting order events, the firm may be found to be in violation of FINRA Rule 2010 and applicable OATS rules. Firms should make no inference, however, that FINRA staff has or has not determined that the information contained on the OATS Compliance report cards does or does not constitute rule violations.
The OATS Compliance report card will be made available through the Report Center approximately eight business days after the end of a report period. The report card will contain all daily OATS statistics for the prior month, along with industry and peer group comparisons and detail data. Users with Equity Report access who have not opted out of email notifications will receive an email once the report card has been published.
Effective October 17th, OATS was expanded to cover all NMS Stocks. In conjunction with this change the OATS Report Card was updated to allow users to see the OATS report cards for specific Market Categories. In addition to the previously available ability to view all of the report card activity, users now have the ability to filter the information (NASDAQ, CQS, Other).

| Unmatched Interfirm Route Reports | In this section, the term "Route Report" includes both Route Reports and Combined Order/Route Reports. Please note that the Unmatched Inter firm Route Reports count on this report may be lower than what was published in the firm’s daily statistics on the OATS Production Website. This is because OATS attempts to match previously unmatched Route Reports for up to 30 days to new order events submitted by the receiving firm after the initial two day match window. Any unmatched Route Reports for which a subsequent match is found are removed from the Report Card statistics. The number of unmatched Route Reports that are caused by the sending firm reporting the Route Report beyond the two day match window will remain unchanged and appear as Late Unmatched Inter Firm Route Reports on the Report Card. |

| Total No. of Unmatched Interfirm Routes Received - Data Error | This is the total number of Interfirm Routes received where OATS was unable to match the Route Report to the related new order for the selected MP for the selected month and year. These unmatched Interfirm Routes received represent instances where the route report was received by OATS within the two day match window, but could not be matched because one of the fields required to match between the sending firm's route report and the receiving firm's New Order Report was incorrect or missing in either the Route Report or the related New Order Report. |

This percentile is calculated by sorting or ranking the firms based on percentage of unmatched Interfirm Routes received (Unmatched Interfirm Routes Received %). Once the firms are ranked, the percentile can be determined. A percentile of 100 represents the highest ranking and a percentile of 0 represents the lowest ranking. (Unmatched Interfirm Routes Received PERC = ((Number of Firms in Industry - RANK of Firm) / Number of Firms in Industry) x 100) |
