Regulatory Reporting Made Easy
TKG provides the most accurate and easiest to use NMS 606 a & b reporting services in the industry.

In addition, when requested they are required to disclose to customers the venues to which their individual orders were routed. TKG tools provide granular analytical details to audit and comply with regulatory reporting requirements.
