Certification Process

The audit trail certification is a two-step process which requires two different certifications:

  1. AutoCert+ Testing
  2. Production Audit Trail Submission

AutoCert+ Testing

Please contact the Audit Trail Team to create an audit trail profile in AutoCert+ if you do not have one already. Information regarding the required message flow is in the topic and information on how to test in AutoCert+ is in the Completing Certification topic. Automated testing is available for CSV scenarios.

Note: Please contact the Audit Trail Team AuditTrail@cmegroup.com when you have completed the first step.

Production Audit Trail Submission

Once the audit trail has successfully completed the AutoCert+ testing, the order entry system may go into production. Please contact your Globex Account Manager for more information. Once live on CME Globex, the connecting entity must submit a production audit trail to CME Group Market Regulation Audit Trail Team within 10 days of going live on CME Globex. A letter will be provided by CME Group Market Regulation Audit Trail Team once the certification has been completed.
