Reconciliation & Exception Management
Reconciling transactions is a critical element of a bank’s back-office operations. Industry initiatives are shortening settlement windows and the current market environment is forcing banks to balance cost reduction with improvements in operational efficiency. In order to improve operational efficiency, banks are striving to streamline back-office processes and lower costs. Exceptions, while only representing a minority of transactions, result in the majority of back-office costs. True Straight-Through Processing (STP) cannot be achieved without automating exception processing.
The main objective of performing reconciliation is to identify incompatibilities in data and achieve resolution. Managing increasing trade volumes, reducing manual errors, achieving data consistency and dealing with the diverse systems storing data can be challenging. To succeed, banks require a solution that can perform pre- and post-settlement reconciliation, text matching for confirmations, and intra-day advice and financial matching for cash and post-trade securities items in an accurate, secure and efficient way.
SunGard can help. SunGard’s Ambit Reconciliation provides real-time matching and reconciliation with integrated exception processing on a single platform to improve efficiency. SunGard’s Ambit Exception Management streamlines back-office processes, increases STP and mitigates the risks associated with manual matching. What We Offer
