Publication of revised Monthly Client Asset Report template and accompanying Guidance Note

As part of the enhancements to the Irish client asset regime and following the publication of the revised Client Asset Requirements in July 2022, the Central Bank of Ireland (Central Bank) has today published a revised Monthly Client Asset Report (MCAR) template in excel format. Further information is available here.

Investment firms should begin preparations to ensure that they can report the new and enhanced client asset information required by the revised MCAR template.

Investment firms are not required to commence using this template for the purpose of MCAR reporting at this time, and should continue to submit the existing MCAR until further notice.

The Central Bank has also published a Guidance Note to accompany the revised MCAR template.
