Overview 

 

A significant challenge all banks face is the reconciliation of data across their various system and business environments. Two major areas integral to reconciliation is the alignment between the Risk and Finance data. A large corporate, institutional and investment bank embarked on an integration project between their Risk and Finance areas to firstly comply to regulatory requirements, secondly to ensure the accuracy of all reported numbers and lastly, to implement a robust and timeous process for the required reconciliations.

 

Monocle was tasked with optimising the reconciliation process within Treasury by identifying and unpacking the sources shared between Treasury and Finance. This entailed identifying synergies between the two areas where Treasury leveraged the banks finance data. Monocle assisted in implemented an automated end-to-end solution based off these Finance initiatives. This also encompassed ensuring that all regulatory requirements were adhered to. Monocle’s involvement in the project was from start to finish, working with the bank on the overall solution, building the required business & technical specifications for implementation as well as performing both System integration testing and user acceptance testing. Lastly Monocle provided post-production support to ensure effective handover and project embedment.
