Firm Summary Scorecard

The Firm Summary Scorecard provides an overview of certain performance and comparison statistics from each of the active individual report cards in one specific location. The Scorecard supplies data available in the respective report cards for the current month and the preceding month.

Report Glossary

The table below provides a reference description for all of the elements found in the Firm Summary Scorecard. (See Firm Summary Scorecard for a sample segment of the report.)

Term

Definition

Industry The industry consists of all market participants who have at least one transaction for the selected month and year.
MP Market Participant
Peer Group A peer group or tier consists of firms within the same predetermined range of transactions (for March 2002 and forward).
Tier This will be the same value as is found on the respective report cards. For any report card offering multiple market classes (such as 10 Second Compliance and 20 Minute Compliance), the "All" value for Tier will be used unless otherwise noted.
Total Alerts If a report card only displays one type of alert, then the number shown in this section of the Scorecard will be identical to the number shown in the same section of the individual report card. If the individual report card has multiple alert types (e.g., 10 Second Compliance and 20 Minute Compliance), this figure will represent the sum of all individual alert types, since different alert types within each specific report card are always mutually exclusive events. In the latter instance, the figure shown on the Scorecard will not be found on the individual report card, but instead will be calculated using figures from that report card. For the OATS Compliance Report Card, this figure will correspond to the Total Exceptions count.
Firm % If the individual report card has only one section (alert type), then this number will be a direct transfer from that particular report card. In the case of report cards with multiple alert types (e.g., 10 Second Compliance and 20 Minute Compliance), the Firm % shown on the Scorecard will be computed by summing the firm percentages for each separate alert type, since alert types within each specific report card are mutually exclusive events. In the latter instance, the figure shown on the Scorecard will not be found on the individual report card, but instead will be calculated using figures from that report card. For the OATS Compliance Report Card, this number will correspond to the Total Exceptions percentage.
Peer Group Average % If the individual report card has only one section (alert type), then this number will be a direct transfer from that particular report card. In the case of report cards with multiple alert types (e.g., 10 Second Compliance and 20 Minute Compliance), the Peer Group Average % shown on the Scorecard will be computed by summing the Peer Group Average % for each separate alert type, since alert types within each specific report card are mutually exclusive events. In the latter instance, the figure shown on the Scorecard will not be found on the individual report card, but instead will be calculated using figures from that report card. For the OATS Compliance Report Card, this number will correspond to the Total Exceptions Peer Group Average.
Industry Average % If the individual report card has only one section (alert type), then both of these numbers will be a direct transfer from the Peer section of that particular report card. In the case of report cards with multiple alert types (e.g.,10 Second Compliance and 20 Minute Compliance), the Rank and Percentile shown on the Scorecard will have been re-computed using the Total Alerts figure computed for the Scorecard by summing the # of alerts in each separate sub-section of the specific report card. In the latter instance, the figure shown on the Scorecard will not be found on the individual report card, but instead will be calculated using figures from the Peer section of that report card. For the OATS Compliance Report Card, this number will correspond to the Total Exceptions Industry Average.
Number in Peer Group This will be the same value as is found on the respective report cards. For any report card offering multiple market classes (such as 10 Second Compliance and 20 Minute Compliance), the "All" value for Number in Peer Group will be used unless otherwise noted. For the OATS Compliance report card, this number will correspond to the Total Exceptions Peer Group count.
Rank/Percentile If the individual report card has only one section (alert type), then both of these numbers will be a direct transfer from the Peer section of that particular report card. In the case of report cards with multiple alert types (e.g., 10 Second Compliance and 20 Minute Compliance), the Rank and Percentile shown on the Scorecard will have been re-computed using the Total Alerts figure computed for the Scorecard by summing the # of alerts in each separate sub-section of the specific report card. In the latter instance, the figure shown on the Scorecard will not be found on the individual report card, but instead will be calculated using figures from the Peer section of that report card. For the OATS Compliance Report Card, these numbers will correspond to the Total Exceptions Rank and Percentile.
