Automation :

The purpose of automation module is to ensure daily end-to-end reporting as overnight process. The process designed in such way that it can be triggered/controlled using tools like Control-M, MS Task Scheduler. This includes loading of data in Report Generator- Global Data Model using sqlldr. Using with XML parameterization/csv it controls the execution of process involved in reporting such as

Data Load
Technical Validation
Mapping between Source, DWH to Data Mart
Cross Validation
Netting
Coverage
Consolidation of Data
Report Allocation
Report Validations

Netting:

The purpose of the netting module is to provide a mechanism to net related balances in a dataset so that they are all having the same Credit/Debit indicator (TYP_DC_INDICATOR). Then accordingly, when they are allocated on the reports, they will all be reported in the same line item.

It hopes to solve the following representative cases:

Net all FX-spot control accounts & report them either in Asset side if net asset or liabilities if otherwise
P&L Gain on sale of securities: report them on net basis.

Coverage: (Credit Risk Mitigation)

Coverage process is a process which is used to calculate the covered and uncovered exposure against limits and collateral provided. This is used to provide a critical information of uncovered exposure which could be a risk to any bank, wherein the chances of default are high.

Collateral and guarantees if properly taken in account will help in credit risk management.

To mitigate credit risk by providing secondary source of repayment in the even that borrower defaults on a credit facility.
To gain control of the collateral which is the primary source of repayment of a facility if defaulted.
To apply a lower capital risk weight to credit which are secured by collateral of guarantees.
