Definitions

Compliance technology

The portion of technology spend attributable to compliance, surveillance, trade review, KYC/KYP, registration and regulatory reporting tools. It is a subset of all technology spend, so the two charts overlap.

Read with care

Technology spend is an annual answer carried forward, so the per-rep figure moves month to month with headcount even when spend has not changed.
