”a spitfire could be flown well by any talented pilot. Today, planes have<br />
evolved so much that this is no longer possible. no matter how skilled<br />
the pilot, a Euro-fighter jet would crash if it wasn’t for the computer<br />
guidance systems installed. banks have evolved in much the same way<br />
– increasing complexity and volumes make it nearly impossible to run<br />
a bank without the aid of business tools. TopOffice acts as a business<br />
guidance system for banks – it provides business leaders with the<br />
real-time intelligence that they need to be able make effective decisions<br />
and drive growth responsibly while minimizing risk.”<br />

can no longer operate without real-time systems to<br />
track and control their position. There is a demand<br />
for management solutions that reach out across<br />
business silos to deliver an integrated view of profit<br />
and risk.<br />
designed from the ground up to capture,<br />
aggregate and analyze data in real-time, TopOffice<br />

performance analysis and funding decisions.<br />

NEW OPPORTUNITIES,<br />
NEW CHALLENGES<br />
As financial institutions<br />
strengthen balance sheets and<br />
rebuild confidence as well as<br />
their discretionary investment<br />
portfolios, there is a fundamental<br />
shift in focus from pure regulatory<br />
compliance to transparency<br />
and the implementation of best<br />
practice. Funding efficiency and<br />
liquidity risk have moved to the<br />
top of the agenda.<br />
It is no longer acceptable to have unexplained<br />
or unknown risks in a portfolio. Consequently,<br />
there is an imperative to develop a holistic view<br />
across the business with the ability to dive down<br />
into the underlying data on demand.<br />
There is a greater emphasis at board level on<br />
the timeliness and granularity of reporting as<br />
banks are expected to understand and<br />
anticipate future scenarios better. This is<br />
putting risk management under pressure to<br />
run more frequent and efficient stress tests.<br />
There is a fundamental shift in focus to<br />
transparency and best practice, which is<br />
forcing banks to upgrade their systems by<br />
adopting an integrated real-time approach.<br />
Key challenges<br />
Balancing capital and liquidity<br />
The cost of capital and liquidity is increasing,<br />
markets are volatile and margins are slimmer.<br />
In this environment, sophisticated funding<br />
strategies are essential to enable banks<br />
to balance the capital requirements with<br />
liquidity needs.<br />
Infrastructure won’t support real-time<br />
There is a requirement to move from end-ofday<br />
to intra-day reporting and, in some cases,<br />
real-time distribution of data.<br />
Lack of front office visibility<br />
lack of visibility over the risks being taken<br />
in the Front Office, means businesses face<br />
challenges determining the level of capital<br />
to set aside for losses.<br />
Business agility<br />
To bring new products to market quickly while<br />
ensuring pricing and risk is effectively reflected<br />
and managed, banks need to have an intuitive<br />
understanding of the product risks and what<br />
action should to be taken in response to<br />
external events.<br />
Moving from accrued to real-time<br />
accounting<br />
regulators demand consistency between<br />
economic & regulatory risk and pricing models.<br />
This means that Treasury, risk management<br />
and Finance need to reconcile their models to<br />
ensure all key parameters that feed into their<br />
P&l are consistent.<br />
More demanding scenario analysis<br />
market pressures are driving banks to take a<br />
more comprehensive view over positions and<br />
future liabilities, under a broader range of<br />
potential scenarios. The time taken to build<br />
and run scenarios can limit a bank’s ability to<br />
anticipate their response to future events.<br />
Multiple systems and high operating costs<br />
banks have data from multiple sources that<br />
needs to be integrated. This is an expensive<br />
and time consuming activity that hinders<br />
accurate risk management.<br />

TopOffice<br />
Proactively manage the business based on<br />
real-time risk adjusted p&l<br />
The dashboard provided by TopOffice allows<br />
senior executives to view and analyse their P&l<br />
and balance sheets, and understand the risks<br />
taken to deliver that performance, at a glance.<br />
The power and flexibility of TopOffice means banks<br />
can pre-price risk using their own valuation models<br />
to create a real-time risk adjusted P&l. This allows<br />
management to make funding decisions based on<br />
the current reality rather than what’s happened in<br />
the past.<br />
Eliminate liquidity silos and optimise<br />
use of capital<br />
designed to handle any instrument type,<br />
TopOffice aggregates risk data from the bottom<br />
up, across multiple asset classes to deliver<br />
comprehensive reporting across business silos,<br />
giving banks the visibility to optimise their use<br />
of capital across the business.<br />

time to market<br />

range of preconfigured asset classes and the<br />
relevant valuation models. This allows businesses<br />
access to a wide range of new instruments and<br />
products ‘out of the box’.<br />
Critically, TopOffice does not have its heritage<br />
from a particular asset class. It was built from the<br />
ground up to be asset class agnostic. as a result,<br />
it’s quick to add new asset classes however<br />
innovative and complex they may be.<br />
Furthermore, it’s easy to integrate third party or<br />
proprietary valuation models. There is an extensive<br />
library of market data types that are shared and<br />
shareable across multiple asset types and models.<br />

native reporting interface.<br />
Upgrade to a single consistent platform<br />
