Report Highlights
FSIs must ready themselves to review operational risk and operational control processes and capabilities across the enterprise to ensure the ongoing maintenance of appropriate systems and controls to ensure adherence to regulatory requirements.
Recon systems are evolving to become more generic in nature to be capable of accepting data and messages in a wide variety of formats. Traditionally, only fixed messages, such as SWIFT, CLS, FIX, etc, were considered, but now they must be able to accept data sent by a large number of internal and external systems, providing match rates of over 90%.
Any vendor wishing to successfully offer a recon solution on an enterprise wide scale must include core architecture components such as generic matching, transaction management, exception management, integrated MIS reporting and web access in order to achieve the benefits associated with an enterprise wide recon offering.
