Sponsor's Presentation
Corporate actions: ready for a golden copy?

Etienne Savatier
International Sales & Partnerships Director
Sterci

Corporate actions processing is one of the most manual, complex and challenging aspects of the back office. Deadlines are often tight and multiple sources of data may be conflicting, confusing, incomplete or even incorrect. With recent progress on SWIFT standardisation, it is now possible to build a corporate action "golden copy" from the reconciliation of the various data sources available from data providers and custodians. This corporate action "golden copy" is an important milestone in meeting both the operational challenge of corporate action automation and the delivery of a robust corporate actions processing environment.
