My main area of responsibility within the role is the supervision and completion of the reconciliation of all cash and stock assets held within the Arbuthnot internal system, as well as identification of all external breaks across several platforms. Other responsibilities include, review of the daily Client Money calculation, review and sign off of all other reconciliations (both internal & external), completing ad‐hoc reconciliations in support of other teams, completion of the company CMAR, and collation of the monthly MI stats, which are presented to OpCo each month. As a senior member of the team, I offer support and communicate with team members, prioritising workflow, and helping with complex queries in all areas. Additionally I provide cover for the Middle Office & Control manager by way of supervision of the Reconciliations team, ensuring that procedures are reviewed regularly, updated when required, and they are fit for purpose (to internal and regulatory standards), as well as capturing and reviewing any weaknesses in controls within the Operations area. As well as offering new ideas on ways to improve current processes, I have worked on several projects including recently supporting the testing and implementation of Autorek. There are several reporting duties within my role, including completion of monthly snap checks within Operations, promoting the principles of CASS, and ensuring ongoing adherence with internal and external stakeholders.
