LEI Integration

It has been suggested that ACR could have some level of integration with LEI data. The following could be considered:

  1. Finding an LEI. There are already web-based tools out there to look up an LEI based on a name. We could either simply provide a URL to (say) the GLEIF LEI site (https://www.gleif.org/en/lei/search) from ACR, or design our own search page that would access the GLEIF API.
  2. Pulling LEI data records. For entities that already have an LEI in ACR, we could put in place a ‘pull’ mechanism that would query the LEI database (via their Rest API), fetching any relevant data (Name, Country, Direct parent, Ultimate Parent, etc.) for such entities and storing this in a ‘shadow record’ in ACR (like what we recently implemented in a dedicated ‘LEI’ section of the Customer Property Sheet).
  3. Data Reconciliation. Once we have this ‘shadow record’, we could present ACR users with a reconciliation view of ACR data vs LEI data. The design is still open for discussion, but we could imagine a side-by-side view of the data, highlighting any material differences between the records.
  4. Update ACR data. If the reconciliation process above identifies genuine errors in the ACR data, the user could then prompt the system to (selectively) update itself with the LEI data.
