The role of Finance
The machinery of Finance
The Finance Engine in most organisations is huge and multi-faceted
All parts of this Engine are critical and if any component is missing the wholeceases to function on all levels
Roles and responsibilities of the Finance Function include the following:
Existence (Validity): Only valid or authorized transactions are processed (i.e., no
invalid transactions) Occurrence (Cutoff): Transactions occurred during the correct period or were
processed timely.
Completeness: All transactions are processed that should be (i.e., no omissions)
Valuation: Transactions are calculated using an appropriate methodology or arecomputationally accurate.
Rights & Obligations: Assets represent the rights of the company, and liabilities its
obligations, as of a given date.
Presentation & Disclosure (Classification): Components of financial statements (orother reporting) are properly classified (by type or account) and described.
Reasonableness: Transactions or results appears reasonable relative to other data ortrends.

The role of Product Control
All finance roles and responsibilities source from a single starting point
If all aspects of the Trade are understood, captured and processed correctlythe entire Finance Function has a fighting chance of being able to achieve
its goals and objectives It is the responsibility of the Product Controller to ensure that all aspects
of the trade are understood, captured and process correctly.
The Product Controller is operating at the Coal Face
Without effective Product Control the Finance Function cannot operateeffectively
Product Control cannot succeed without an effective ControlEnvironment

The Control Environment
5 aspects are required to support any level of control in any organisation:
1. Control Environment: sets the tone for the organisation and influences thecontrol consciousness of its people. This is the foundation stone for all otheraspects of control
2. Risk Assessment: the identification and analysis of relevant risks to the
achievement of objectives, forming a basis for how the risks should be managed
3. Information and Communication: systems or processes that support theidentification , capture, and exchange of information in a form and time framethat enable people to carry out their responsibilities
4. Control Activities: the policies and procedures that help ensure managementdirectives are carried out
5. Monitoring: processes used to assess the quality of internal controlperformance over time

Most trading organisations grow organically, adding products and complexity
through time, bringing further challenges
Multiple trading systems
Non-standardised settlement and valuation processes
Contrived solutions that jam trades into systems not intended to support them
Manual interventions and associated control risk

The Trade
Understanding the Trade
The Product Controller must understand the trade and the economic intentbehind that trade
Critical for all Trades, whether Structured or Vanilla
The component based approach
By breaking trades down into their lowest level components, these components,
when combined into a pattern can describe the full lifecycle of the product
Common, low level components can be defined and managed in such a waythat they can be re-used across the full product set
Components can then be used to model transactions across multipletransactions types, trading systems and any upstream processes
The more complex the trade, the more appropriate a consistent componentbased approach becomes:
Modelling at the component level along with understanding associated behaviourpatterns allows support for an infinite number of distinct products with theconfidence of generating reliable results

The Trade
Trade Completeness
The Product Controller must ensure that the trade is represented in the TradingSystem(s) according to its economic intent
Critical for trading structures where trades are split across multiple systems, forexample, a structure may span a Bond System, a Derivatives System and aStructured Option System.
Where booking Interventions have been made, the rationale behind theseinterventions must be clear, understood and documented
Clear Audit Trails must exist otherwise, as time moves on and memories fade,controls will be compromised
It is the responsibility of the Product Controller to ensure that the trade is
booked in such a way that it can be used reliably and predictably by all otherareas of the organisation

The Trade: Valuation
The ability to value a Trade is critical. That valuation must reflect:
The economic reality of that trade
Current market conditions
Regulatory pronouncements at that point in time.
Methods for valuing trades are in the spotlight as a result of the credit crisis
We dont know future changes to valuation methodology so, today, the focus must
centre around the following:
Ensuring that current valuation processes encompass all trades across all systems
Ensuring that all valuation methods, models and processes are consistent and are fullyunderstood and documented
Documentary evidence for valuations is available and is in a state which can be provided tothe regulators.
Processes and models to support multiple valuation methodologies simultaneously are inplace
All aspects of the valuation process are automated as far as possible

The Trade: Valuation
Are current valuations reliable?
Regulatory developments focus on transaction information to help makeassessments as to whether the valuations for those trades can be verifiedindependently
Categories based upon the ease with which prices can be IFRS 7 requires tradesto be classified into broad obtained:
Level 1: Quoted Prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable forthe asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) it indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liability that are not based upon observable market data(unobservable inputs)
Allows the focus on transactions based upon the ease and reliability with whichvaluations have been obtained

The Trade: Valuation
Are current valuations tested against independently often enough?
Independent Price Verification (IPV) is a hot topic in the global market
place today
Product Controllers are being asked to focus increasingly upon:
Increased frequency of the IPV process, from quarterly to monthly, bi-monthly,weekly and (sometimes) daily.
Greater coverage of the product set
Global consistency in the processes and models used
Global consistency in the inputs used to generate valuations
Complete audit trails supporting the process end-to-end
More granular triggers for identifying valuation differences requiring investigation
Documentary evidence to support the investigation of those differences and anyfollow-up action taken.
These requirements are onerous. How can they be supported?

The Trade: Valuation
The Product Controller needs tools to be able to support the many and
varied requirements associated with Trade Valuations:
IFRS 7 classifications must be integral to the systems used daily. Classificationsupport using spreadsheets does not allow systematic processes focussing ontransactions which will attract attention due to lack of price availability.
The quest for price consistency is leading to Global Rates and PricingRepositories
Increased frequency is driving attention towards solutions which support partialor full automation.
Reporting solutions must be able to capture valuation adjustments at the tradelevel arising out of the IPV process coupled with supporting audit trails

The Trade: Day 1 P&L
Day 1 P&L is increasingly important as an indicator that something might be
wrong !
In normal market conditions, trades executed at market prices as at T0should not generate large positive or negative P&L as at T1
Large T1 P&L could indicate:
Abnormal trading conditions in relevant market
Incorrect / Incomplete trade booking leading to incomplete / incorrect valuation
Off-market trading
Incorrect / incomplete prices used to generate valuations
Trade is significant and should be flagged as such within Finance in general
Trader exploiting a market opportunity, an inexperienced counterparty for
example.
The Product Controller requires tools allowing the identification of thesetrades and their subsequent investigation within very tight timeframes

Daily P&L
Product Control is the first point in the process whereby P&L is analysed
and reported.
It is the responsibility of the Product Controllers to understand the driversbehind any P&L generated and hence to be able to judge whether P&L hasbeen generated in a manner which supports organisational goals andobjectives.
This is a weighty responsibility....
The Product Controllers need all the help they can get, particularly as theregulatory focus is increasingly demanding information at an increasinglygranular level.
Any P&L validly reported by Product Control should be relied upon byFinance throughout the organisation

Daily P&L: Decomposition
It must be possible for a Product Controller to decompose any daily P&L in a numberof different ways simultaneously.
Trading Book
Market or Country
Currency
Trader
Source System
Strategy
Instrument Type
Counterparty
IFRS 7 classification
Significant Trades
Risk factors
Etc...
With the ability to slice and dice daily P&L it is then possible to start to focus onspecific focus areas, or on those which may indicate trends which require furtherinvestigation
The design must be increasingly focussed on maintaining P&L at the trade level withall dimensions as above retained on the record

Daily P&L: Attribution
The ability to attribute P&L to quantifiable drivers is critical and is the only
way to validate any reported P&L in any sustainable way.
There are multiple ways to attribute P&L and all must be available to theProduct Controller in a timely fashion.
In addition to tools highlighting P&L attribution, there must also be meansavailable to record the results of any analysis in such a way that otherfinance users can access the information for internal or regulatory purposes
The following are the most commons ways of measuring P&L attribution:

Daily P&L: Reporting
Sourcing Daily P&L: Trading Systems?
Advantages
Quicker as all the information is already there
Information is timely
More likely to agree to traders estimates
Core finance systems only require monthly updates for non-cash balances
Should support the measurement of FX exposure and may include Funding costs
Disadvantages
Not used for reporting in Finance therefore how useful is Trading system P&L
Does not reconcile P&L to core systems
Trade adjustments are difficult, if not impossible to capture therefore these are typicallyspreadsheet adjustments with their consequent lack of audit trails
Reconciliation issues between Trading Systems and Core finance systems may not beidentified intra-month therefore, due to month end time pressures, may not beinvestigated fully
Full monthly P&L still needs to be reconciled in core systems therefore increases timerequired for month end processing

Daily P&L: Reporting
Advantages
Daily P&L is fully reflected in core finance systems intra-monthReduces workload at month end as only the final days P&L requires reconciliation plus
some additional monthly tasks.
There is time for P&L analysis as Monthly P&L is largely reconciled
Reconciliation items arise during the month when there is more time to investigate
Trade adjustments can be supported within core systems and will therefore be audit
trailedFunding and FX exposure information is available on a daily basis across businessareas contributing significantly to business decisions as to how to manage these keybusiness areas
Disadvantages
Requires core finance systems to be updated daily for items other than cash leading toprocessing overhead
May take longer to produce as core system reconciliations are a dependency
Processes to measure and manage FX exposure are required on a daily basis
Funding information is also required in core systems on a daily basis which, again, canadd to the processing overhead

Balance Sheet
Core system reconciliations will be required for Daily P&L reporting
Balance Sheet substantiation is required throughout all organisations on anincreasingly frequent basis and is attracting increasing regulatory focus
Reconciliations can also support Balance Sheet substantiation on a daily
basis. This brings its own additional benefits including... Internal Deal control and the ability to manage differences in valuation or timing
on a global basis
Cross-business funding requirements
If Core Systems are used for Daily P&L reporting...
... P&L is simply the difference between 2 dated Balance Sheets....
Daily Balance Sheet reconciliation is a logical extension to process

Daily P&L: Reporting using Core Systems
With the focus moving away from fragmented, system focused, largely
manual environments, we have Product Control moving towards a rolewhich is increasingly intellectual.
The emphasis moves from number crunching towards analysis
The profile of Product Control within Finance will increase significantly asthe level of analytical contribution is allowed to rise.
Product Control increases in value to the organisation
Product Controllers become more involved in key business decisions and inplanning and strategy
Everybody Wins!
