How Concentric AI helps you with CFTC 1.31 Compliance

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Rule 1.31(c-d) is a U.S. federal regulation that oversees how records are retained in the commodity futures, options markets, and swaps market.

The rule, revised in 2017, states that electronic records must be maintained for five years and be readily accessible for inspection by the Commission or the U.S. Department of Justice during the entire retention period. With the revision, the rule is more technology-neutral and allows regulated entities to choose the most appropriate technology for their business while maintaining security measures to ensure the reliability of the record-keeping process.

The revised rule removes the requirement that organizations maintain the original records for two years but retains the five-year maintenance period.
