PDF? EMAIL? IMAGE? NO PROBLEM! #### Two Col Intro Automate repetitive manual work Don’t waste valuable time with slow, error-prone manual document processing. Adaptive IDP can help you reduce operational costs, eliminate re-keying, and cut the time spent on unstructured data extraction. Duco’s adaptive IDP learns from context, interpreting layout and text for improved extraction results. And it continually learns from human interaction to avoid repeating mistakes. All with the robust security, transparency and governance you expect from Duco. No need for coding, no data science degree required. compact Adaptive IDP: Automates data extraction from documents, images, emails and more Learns from context to interpret layout and text, not just memorise it, so it can adapt when slight changes occur without the need to retrain Continually learns from human feedback to reduce repeat mistakes Can be trained with as few as 10 examples, or from an existing model #### Flow Diagram Adaptive intelligent document processing (IDP) uses a deep learning engine – proprietary NLP algorithms power AI models, continuously improving with human validation. Adaptive IDP for unstructured data Optimise and prepare for extraction Pre-processing Split files, recognise/classify doc type, paginate Classify Extract data formatted to your configurations. Links connected text (eg dates and amounts), and recognises signatures, stamps, logos… Extract Validate against business rules and enrich with custom logic Validate Send to further Duco processes or other applications Output #### Card Grid flat Adaptive IDP keeps humans in the loop throughout the process. Business users provide feedback just by doing their jobs and resolving issues. The model continually learns from this interaction to improve outcomes and avoid repeat mistakes. And because the AI model is supervised, and trained on specific tasks, it delivers higher accuracy and more reliable results faster than unsupervised models. AI + humans   Duco’s expert professional services team will help you build and train the model, to accelerate time to value and increase ROI. But that’s only half the story. Model training is fast and the models are sharable thanks to our revolutionary multi-task learning model that enables clients to use one model across multiple projects, rather than training on hundreds of docs for each project. Training the model is made even faster with AI-enabled active learning and model-assisted annotation. The system identifies the best documents to train the model, and suggests the best data to annotate to ensure training efficiency. Straightforward model training More than an IDP point solution, adaptive IDP is part of the Duco platform, which enables even greater automation once data is extracted. With Duco’s data prep capability you can transform, normalise and enrich in the platform, then push to Duco’s best-in-class matching engine to reconcile and manage exceptions, automating data processing throughout its lifecycle and speeding up time to value. And of course, adaptive IDP comes with the same level of transparency, governance and security you already expect from Duco. Integrated platform solution Integrated features to help you extract unstructured data with ease. THE ADAPTIVE DIFFERENCE #### Two Col Intro Manual & legacy solutions Manual processing is slow, prone to errors and costly OCR template-based solutions require structured input with fixed layouts Developers or consultants manually create, maintain and adjust templates whenever formats change – costly and time consuming Point solutions for each document type/department create a messy, expensive tech stack Pre-trained models deliver mediocre, static performance WITH adaptive IDP AI handles unstructured input with unlimited variety (documents, scans, emails, etc.) Algorithms learn from context and interpret layout and text, not just memorize it Transparent training models – no black box One solution used across the business – no specialised point solutions Self-learning models provide better performance and improve over time #### Post Grid Insights recent tall link Read Article dynamic tall link Read Article dynamic tall link Read Article dynamic #### Card Grid minimal Harness the power of the cloud to react fast to any changes in data volume or complexity.

Extract data intelligently #### Two Col Intro Structured data Structured data is at least that – structured, but there are still challenges when extracting it for processing. Data from multiple sources is frequently messy with little to no standardization Even standard formats like SWIFT and regulatory ISO XML files need mapping Pre-processing and enrichment in other areas of the firm can lead to errors and false breaks when reconciled compact Unstructured data Unstructured data brings additional complexity Data must be manually rekeyed from PDF formats or hard copies, which can introduce errors This slow, repetitive work drains employee motivation and frequently leads to poor customer experience Legacy systems mean any change to ‘memorized’ formats require IT intervention to adjust models Learn more about Duco’s adaptive IDP solution for unstructured data extraction. #### Card Grid flat Harness the power of the cloud to react fast to any changes in data volume or complexity.

These observations come from our years of experience dealing with financial firms of all sizes across the globe. The following features are vital to ensure you get the most from your reconciliation platform: Flexible ingestion: Match rates are vital. A solid reconciliation tool should have fuzzy matching and rule-based tolerances to filter out false breaks due to formatting or rounding. It should also have strong controls around these rules to ensure auditability. Best-in-class matching: Match rates are vital. A solid reconciliation tool should have fuzzy matching and rule-based tolerances to filter out false breaks due to formatting or rounding. Ease of building and managing: Platforms where business users who know the data can build and modify processes will save time, money and headaches. Avoid systems that require massive change projects just to build or change a rec. Exception management capabilities: Ease of use is the name of the game here. No matter how good your match rates are, you’ll still have to manage exceptions. The ability to label, comment on, assign, and resolve exceptions from one screen is vital. Automated or rule-based exception management is even better. Reporting capabilities: The ability to feed data downstream and view status and results on a dashboard is key to oversight and identifying the trends that signal upstream problems. Total cost of ownership: Consider upgrade costs, maintenance costs, IT and project costs, and intangible or opportunity costs. A cloud-based solution, for example, will cost you significantly less than an on-premise deployment, while providing much greater scalability. What should I look for when purchasing reconciliation software? Duco enables you to have confidence in your data by checking its accuracy, flagging any discrepancies and providing a streamlined workflow for resolving breaks. The platform combines data preparation, normalisation, validation and reconciliation, giving you a transparent and auditable view of the end-to-end process lifecycle. Beyond this, the Duco platform’s ability to focus on genuine reconciliation breaks, by removing the ‘white noise’ of false breaks and automating the resolution of routine exceptions, allows our customers to shift their focus upstream. They are able to fix data quality issues at source, permanently removing bad data downstream. This ensures that they can trust their data and removes the need for extensive and expensive manual intervention. How can reconciliation software like Duco help me? Implementing the Duco can be done in a matter of days without large IT projects. The platform is Software as a Service (SaaS) so is available to use almost immediately, with no installation needed. Then, depending on the complexity, you can build a reconciliation from scratch in a matter of hours. More complicated reconciliations can take a few days or a few weeks, depending on your internal processes and requirements. Duco can be completely self-service, but – for added speed – you can also take advantage of our professional services capabilities, where our reconciliation experts can help you build and deploy your reconciliations. How long does it take to get reconciliations up and running on Duco? You can respond much quicker to changing business needs with a SaaS platform, enjoy significantly lower total cost of ownership and easily access the latest tools and capabilities. As a Duco customer you’ll benefit from continuous innovation, with new features and improvements rolled out seamlessly on a monthly basis. It’s also easy to adjust your usage of the platform, scaling to meet new volume or use case requirements, or to serve different teams and geographies. Compare this to an on-premise deployment, where not only do you have the cost of hardware and maintenance, but also changes/upgrades require major and expensive IT projects. Why should I consider a cloud-native/SaaS reconciliation solution? Once the data is reconciled, you can use Data Platform to pull the data, breaks and workflow information into visualisation tools like PowerBI or Tableau, feed it into Excel or SQL databases, or push it to other internal systems or reports. Duco stores several years’ worth of historical data so you can use it to spot trends and identify points of failure in processes. You can also export the data to upstream processes or downstream for other reporting purposes. What can I do with the data captured in Duco? Yes! With Duco you can schedule data prep processes and reconciliations to run at specific times of the day, or when pre-defined levels of data have been received from counterparties or internal teams. Can I schedule my reconciliations? Absolutely. Contact us to discuss your reconciliation needs and schedule a demo. Can I see a demo with my own data? Data reconciliation has many challenges, but two of the biggest are data quality and transparency and auditability. Data quality You’re almost never reconciling data sets that are perfectly clean and aligned. You receive data from various sources with formatting differences – for example, one file denotes currency with a symbol, another with the three letter code, dates are in multiple formats, and frequently some data is missing. This requires a lot of work to get the data into shape before you can even think about reconciling it. That may be done with macros, manually, or with an expensive point solution. Transparency/auditability If you’re reconciling data in spreadsheets or using manual interventions to get data in shape (as above), you introduce the opportunity for human error. As data is added and normalised manually, mistakes can happen, and they’re frequently not found until much later. It can be bad for your day-to-day operations, but even worse when you’ve got to deal with an audit. With automation platforms like Duco, messy data is no problem. You can clean up your data in the platform, without separate solutions, quickly and easily. And every action you take is self-documented automatically in a PDF. So you – and regulators – can see exactly how the data was processed. What are the biggest challenges with data reconciliation? Many accounting tools provide reconciliation capabilities to enable you to compare your general ledger to bank statements, but they are frequently not robust enough to handle the various formats that come in without specific APIs. This means you spend time managing spreadsheets, and slowing down your processes. Which can be a problem, as reconciliations need to happen accurately and quickly for reporting and cash management purposes. Duco can manage multiple data formats without the need for specific APIs. Data in PDFs, SWIFT formats, and excel or CSV files can be uploaded as is and normalised in the platform. And Duco’s best in class matching engine means you filter out the noise of false breaks, getting to the right data, faster.

Ensuring accuracy requires reconciling potentially complex data across multiple systems and ensuring that data is fed to reports without error. Client reporting With Duco you can Build reconciliations quickly using Natural Rule Language Use fuzzy matching and multi-pass functionality to ensure best-in-class match rates Feed corrected or complete data back into upstream systems or downstream to visualisation and reporting tools Client information sits in multiple business systems – wherever the client is transacting or has a relationship. To reconcile for KYC checks, your data needs to be normalised, consolidated and fed into your KYC solution, which means hours of work to compare, investigate and correct missing or mismatched data, even when you’ve got a ‘golden source’ reference file. KYC With Duco you can Normalise data without ETL Set up no code reconciliations in days, without lengthy IT projects Automated workflows speed up investigations As you manage the chain of interactions throughout the client lifecycle, data disconnects are bound to happen, leading to errors and potentially lapses in client service. CLM systems help manage this, but they are only as good as the data available to them, so ensuring data quality is vital. Client lifecycle management With Duco you can Ingest data from multiple systems quickly and easily, without pre-transformation Automate workflows to assign investigations quickly Seamlessly integrate data outputs into CLM processes Client data Client servicing As data flows between systems, enrichment and modifications can allow errors to creep in and propagate across your business. Reconciling this data can be a time consuming and manual process, introducing significant operational risk and limiting your ability to manage change effectively. Intersystem controls With Duco you can Reconcile data in any format, with no pre-transformation Use multi-pass capabilities to reconcile across multiple sources in one process Set tolerances with no-code rules and filter out false breaks Trade data flows through many systems as it moves from execution to settlement and trade data reporting requirements are significant. Reconciling across all phases of the lifecycle can be challenging with many embedded or user developed tools. And yet it’s vital to ensure your data is correct and complete. Trade lifecycle & control With Duco you can Handle reconciliations throughout the trade lifecycle on one platform Ingest and normalise data from different systems without pre-transformation Build and manage reconciliations in days, without large IT projects and weeks of scoping When dealing with multiple asset classes and complex instruments the ability to manage margin disputes, reconcile trades, and manage collateral is essential to limiting risk. Even when the data is stored in a risk management or portfolio management system, the complexity can lead to heavy reliance on manual processes and spreadsheets to fill gaps. Collateral management With Duco you can Ingest data in any format without pre-transformation Eliminate manual processes with best-in-class match rates Automate workflows to label and assign breaks When brokers and buy-side firms use different data feeds for corporate actions and market data, inconsistencies can creep into transactions and impact everything from daily cash & securities reconciliations to client reporting. Corporate actions With Duco you can Build processes in Natural Rule Language that link multiple reconciliations Drill down to underlying break cases and assign for investigation in a few clicks Automatically document all processes for full transparency Investment operations As data flows between systems, enrichment and modifications can allow errors to creep in and propagate across your business. Reconciling this data can be a time consuming and manual process, introducing significant operational risk and limiting your ability to manage change effectively. Intersystem controls With Duco you can Reconcile data in any format, with no pre-transformation Use multi-pass capabilities to reconcile across multiple sources in one process Set tolerances with no-code rules and filter out false breaks Trade data flows through many systems as it moves from execution to settlement and trade data reporting requirements are significant.

Collateral management With Duco you can Ingest data in any format without pre-transformation Eliminate manual processes with best-in-class match rates Automate workflows to label and assign breaks The structured OTC confirmation process is loaded with unstructured data from PDFs, scans and emails that needs to be reconciled between term sheets, confirms and books of records. Reconciling unstructured data can mean manual rekeying or paper-to-screen comparisons, which introduces the risk of human error and cost if you want to scale. OTC confirmations With Duco you can Automate unstructured data extraction with Adaptive IDP Normalise, transform and reconcile in one platform Automate workflows to get breaks to the right people, fast Trade operations As data flows between systems, enrichment and modifications can allow errors to creep in and propagate across your business. Reconciling this data can be a time consuming and manual process, introducing significant operational risk and limiting your ability to manage change effectively. Intersystem controls With Duco you can Reconcile data in any format, with no pre-transformation Use multi-pass capabilities to reconcile across multiple sources in one process Set tolerances with no-code rules and filter out false breaks Between claims and risk reporting, reinsurers, coverholders and other delegated authorities have to manage thousands of bordereaux reports. Multiple checks are required throughout the process, but manual checks and workarounds are often used to manage complexity and patchy data quality. Getting it wrong can impact everything from claims payments to risk management. Bordereaux With Duco you can Handle data in any format, with no need to pre-transform Build reconciliations without code Document changes automatically The number of systems and data formats involved in the process can make timely claims payments challenging. Manual workarounds are often used to overcome the lack of standardisation, but these slow down the process and add to total cost per claim. These same data problems and manual processes make payment matching – both premiums and claims – even more of a challenge. Claims & payments With Duco you can Remove manual workarounds and spreadsheets Set rule-based tolerances to filter out noise of false breaks Speed up the payment process, reducing cost per claim Insurance operations In addition to sanctions and penalties, errors in trade and position information impacts a wide variety of activities including allocations & fees, fiduciary duties and risk positions, just to name a few. But legacy solutions and user developed tools can be inflexible, making managing complex or patchy data from counterparties a challenge. Securities Get to better securities data faster with Duco. Fractional pricing, margin requirements and the clearing process can make derivatives data more complex than other securities. You need your data to be complete and correct, quickly, to effectively manage trading and liquidity, client reporting, and regulatory compliance. Derivatives Duco can help you make complex derivatives reconciliations a breeze. With crypto – as with other trades – you need to ensure that your trades and positions are correct between internal records and the blockchain as well as liquidity providers and custodians. However, crypto assets don’t generally have standardised formats for expressing trades and holdings, which can mean a lot of manual work to carry out reconciliations. In addition, the market is demanding more stringent processes and evidence of best practices, which means error-prone manual processes aren’t going to cut it with the regulators or with clients. Crypto Duco can help you mitigate operational risk, increase transparency and reconcile complex data with ease. Custody data is used to verify valuations, fulfil fiduciary and reporting duties to clients, ensure accurate payments and fees, and understand your risk position. But the volume and breadth of custodians means inbound data is frequently unstandardised and exception management can be clunky and time consuming. Custody Ditch ETL and automate exception management workflows with Duco. Holdings & activity Derivatives clearing is challenging. The data is complex, the volumes are high, timeframes are shrinking and regulatory scrutiny is increasing. Client margin and account data has to be accurate but reconciliations across hundreds of client accounts can mean significant data normalisation issues, that need to be managed at speed to meet tight deadlines for your clients. Client clearing With Duco you can Ingest complex derivatives data from multiple sources without the need for pre-transformation Use multi-pass capabilities to reconcile across sources in one process Scale easily to manage significant volumes with ease Clearing & settlement Operations Cash reconciliations are a vital and mandatory control. They receive high levels of scrutiny from regulators, and touch almost every area of your operations department. And the nature of them means they require complicated investigations and loads of manual work between multiple systems and stakeholders to identify the root causes of breaks. Cash account With Duco you can reduce complexity and increase agility without sacrificing vital controls. Treasury and cash Payments reconciliations can be challenging when you’re dealing with many sources and payment providers, all with unique data formats. Disconnected systems, inflexible technology, currency differences and manual workflows can make the process even more complicated. Payments With Duco you can Ingest data in multiple currencies and formats with little or no pre-transformation Use multi-pass and fuzzy matching to make sense out of messy data Eliminate manual workarounds Trading sheets, sub-ledgers, bank statements, and manual entries all have different formats, presenting challenges for balance sheet substantiation. Ensuring accurate consolidated reconciliation can be a challenge when you’re using inflexible legacy technology, or worse, manual spreadsheet reconciliations as a workaround. Balance sheet With Duco you can Ingest, normalise and reconcile data from multiple sources without prior data transformation Ensure transparency and streamline compliance with built-in governance and full audit trail functionality Payments & financial control Finance Transaction data needs to be accurate, complete and timely, validated with post-reporting reconciliations. And with refits, rewrites and updates on regulations around the world, you need to ensure the flexibility to adapt those reconciliations when you need to. Transaction & regulatory reporting (regime agnostic) Duco gives you the flexibility to keep up with regulatory change. Transaction & reg reporting Risk teams are busier than ever in the face of a fast-changing business landscape. As processes, systems and activities shift, the complexity associated with compiling, normalising and reconciling risk data continues to increase. Having confidence in your risk exposure and financial health at all times, across all areas of risk, is vital but to do this your teams must deal with large volumes of highly complex data, drawn from disparate sources, in varying file formats. Risk data integrity With Duco you can Ingest data without a pre-defined schema Ditch pre-transformation Improve match rates and get to real breaks faster The risk reporting environment is growing in complexity. In addition to the challenges around risk reporting methods in annual reports, regulations like BCBS 239 and others require timely, accurate and granular reporting of risk data in specific formats. Organisations need to be flexible and adaptable to respond to changing data requirements as well as to changes to the regulations themselves. Risk reporting (regime agnostic) With Duco you can Ingest files from multiple sources in multiple formats without ETL Eliminate spreadsheets and manual workarounds Improve data quality and auditability Risk reporting & data integrity Risk & compliance When migrating between old and new systems, you need to ensure that your data remains accurate and complete. But frequently, errors can creep in, particularly if you are relying on spreadsheets and existing platforms. Bad data frequently doesn’t show itself until late in the process, when it can have the biggest impact. Data/system migration With Duco you can Validate large amounts of disparate data that other systems can’t handle without major transformation projects Validate core numeric, textual and static data as well as calculated/processed data Lighten the impact of scoping and setup with no-code reconciliations Without trustworthy, complete and consistent reference data, errors creep into processes across the business and create mayhem down stream. Reference data impacts nearly every other reconciliation and data management activity your business does. So how do you ensure it’s right? Reference data integrity With Duco you can Quickly ingest and normalise files to validate your reference data across multiple sources Automate workflow rules to instantly label and assign breaks Push data to visualisation tools, data lakes, or back to upstream processes Testing and migration IT #### Cta BOOK A LIVE DEMO url /request-a-demo/ Seeing is believing Book a 30 minute demo to see Duco in action and discover a faster, smarter way to manage your data. large --- ### ASIC Rewrite https://du.co/solutions/asic-rewrite/ Meet the challenges of the ASIC Rewrite with Duco's agile, no-code reconciliation solution. #### Hero Regulatory data quality for the ASIC Rewrite Stay ahead of the demands of the ASIC Rewrite with an agile post-reporting solution. #### Challenges Avoiding fines and sanctions CHALLENGE PROBLEM Inaccurate or incomplete data can lead to attention from the regulator. And it’s not just the fines that are expensive. Audits and remediation programmes are costly and reputational damage can be significant. SOLUTION Duco can help you ensure that the data you’re sending to the Trade Repository is accurate, complete and in the right format. Our solution can help you quickly identify issues that need correcting upstream to avoid repeated errors. Removal of delegated reporting safe harbour CHALLENGE PROBLEM Delegating your reporting no longer means delegating responsibility for the data. Firms must ensure data is accurate, complete and timely regardless of whether they delegate reporting or not. SOLUTION Duco’s preconfigured process templates for the ASIC Rewrite ensure that post-reporting reconciliation is easy, whether you delegate the reporting or decide to send it yourself. Futureproofing processes CHALLENGE PROBLEM Adding or changing data inputs is a challenge with inflexible tech and huge internal change control projects as regulations – and your business – evolve. SOLUTION Our pre-configured solution is already mapped to the relevant ISO XML fields and linked to our Data Prep module, meaning you can normalise data quickly and easily in the platform. Scale quickly without adding cost or sacrificing controls for speed. Managing divergent regimes CHALLENGE PROBLEM ASIC, MAS, EMIR UK, EMIR EU and CFTC are sharing key reporting requirements, but diverging fields and formats may mean headaches for reporting and maintenance. Particularly as the market moves toward regular regulatory ‘tweaks’ rather than infrequent large changes. SOLUTION Our preconfigured processes make it easy to map internal data to submission formats. And the preconfigured templates are maintained by Duco, so there’s no need to manage change projects as regulations evolve. ASIC Rewrite changes have made upstream data quality even more important. Finding and managing the data for new required fields will bring new challenges, and the ISO XML format means you can no longer use the workarounds you did in CSV. And the removal of safe harbour means firms that delegate reporting will need new and robust processes to ensure accurate reporting. Duco has extensive regulatory experience across regimes including ASIC, MAS, EMIR and CFTC. Our no-code, SaaS platform along with expert professional services and out-of-the-box ASIC Rewrite solution can help ensure controls meet requirements while reducing cost, complexity and time to value.

Collateral management With Duco you can Ingest data in any format without pre-transformation Eliminate manual processes with best-in-class match rates Automate workflows to label and assign breaks When brokers and buy-side firms use different data feeds for corporate actions and market data, inconsistencies can creep into transactions and impact everything from daily cash & securities reconciliations to client reporting. Corporate actions With Duco you can Build processes in Natural Rule Language that link multiple reconciliations Drill down to underlying break cases and assign for investigation in a few clicks Automatically document all processes for full transparency Investment operations In addition to sanctions and penalties, errors in trade and position information impacts a wide variety of activities including allocations & fees, fiduciary duties and risk positions, just to name a few. But legacy solutions and user developed tools can be inflexible, making managing complex or patchy data from counterparties a challenge. Securities Get to better securities data faster with Duco. Fractional pricing, margin requirements and the clearing process can make derivatives data more complex than other securities. You need your data to be complete and correct, quickly, to effectively manage trading and liquidity, client reporting, and regulatory compliance. Derivatives Duco can help you make complex derivatives reconciliations a breeze. Custody data is used to verify valuations, fulfil fiduciary and reporting duties to clients, ensure accurate payments and fees, and understand your risk position. But the volume and breadth of custodians means inbound data is frequently unstandardised and exception management can be clunky and time consuming. Custody Ditch ETL and automate exception management workflows with Duco. With crypto – as with other trades – you need to ensure that your trades and positions are correct between internal records and the blockchain as well as liquidity providers and custodians. However, crypto assets don’t generally have standardised formats for expressing trades and holdings, which can mean a lot of manual work to carry out reconciliations. In addition, the market is demanding more stringent processes and evidence of best practices, which means error-prone manual processes aren’t going to cut it with the regulators or with clients. Crypto Duco can help you mitigate operational risk, increase transparency and reconcile complex data with ease. Holdings & activity Derivatives clearing is challenging. The data is complex, the volumes are high, timeframes are shrinking and regulatory scrutiny is increasing. Client margin and account data has to be accurate but reconciliations across hundreds of client accounts can mean significant data normalisation issues, that need to be managed at speed to meet tight deadlines for your clients. Client clearing With Duco you can Ingest complex derivatives data from multiple sources without the need for pre-transformation Use multi-pass capabilities to reconcile across sources in one process Scale easily to manage significant volumes with ease Clearing & settlement Operations Cash reconciliations are a vital and mandatory control. They receive high levels of scrutiny from regulators, and touch almost every area of your operations department. And the nature of them means they require complicated investigations and loads of manual work between multiple systems and stakeholders to identify the root causes of breaks. Cash account With Duco you can reduce complexity and increase agility without sacrificing vital controls. Treasury & cash Payments reconciliations can be challenging when you’re dealing with many sources and payment providers, all with unique data formats. Disconnected systems, inflexible technology, currency differences and manual workflows can make the process even more complicated. Payments With Duco you can Ingest data in multiple currencies and formats with little or no pre-transformation Use multi-pass and fuzzy matching to make sense out of messy data Eliminate manual workarounds Trading sheets, sub-ledgers, bank statements, and manual entries all have different formats, presenting challenges for balance sheet substantiation. Ensuring accurate consolidated reconciliation can be a challenge when you’re using inflexible legacy technology, or worse, manual spreadsheet reconciliations as a workaround. Balance sheet With Duco you can Ingest, normalise and reconcile data from multiple sources without prior data transformation Ensure transparency and streamline compliance with built-in governance and full audit trail functionality Payments & financial control Finance Transaction data needs to be accurate, complete and timely, validated with post-reporting reconciliations.

Transaction & regulatory reporting (regime agnostic) Duco gives you the flexibility to keep up with regulatory change. Transaction & reg reporting The risk reporting environment is growing in complexity. In addition to the challenges around risk reporting methods in annual reports, regulations like BCBS 239 and others require timely, accurate and granular reporting of risk data in specific formats.

Corporate actions With Duco you can Build processes in Natural Rule Language that link multiple reconciliations Drill down to underlying break cases and assign for investigation in a few clicks Automatically document all processes for full transparency Investment operations In addition to sanctions and penalties, errors in trade and position information impacts a wide variety of activities including allocations & fees, fiduciary duties and risk positions, just to name a few. But legacy solutions and user developed tools can be inflexible, making managing complex or patchy data from counterparties a challenge. Securities Get to better securities data faster with Duco. Fractional pricing, margin requirements and the clearing process can make derivatives data more complex than other securities. You need your data to be complete and correct, quickly, to effectively manage trading and liquidity, client reporting, and regulatory compliance. Derivatives Duco can help you make complex derivatives reconciliations a breeze. Custody data is used to verify valuations, fulfil fiduciary and reporting duties to clients, ensure accurate payments and fees, and understand your risk position. But the volume and breadth of custodians means inbound data is frequently unstandardised and exception management can be clunky and time consuming. Custody Ditch ETL and automate exception management workflows with Duco. With crypto – as with other trades – you need to ensure that your trades and positions are correct between internal records and the blockchain as well as liquidity providers and custodians. However, crypto assets don’t generally have standardised formats for expressing trades and holdings, which can mean a lot of manual work to carry out reconciliations. In addition, the market is demanding more stringent processes and evidence of best practices, which means error-prone manual processes aren’t going to cut it with the regulators or with clients. Crypto Duco can help you mitigate operational risk, increase transparency and reconcile complex data with ease. Holdings & activity Derivatives clearing is challenging. The data is complex, the volumes are high, timeframes are shrinking and regulatory scrutiny is increasing. Client margin and account data has to be accurate but reconciliations across hundreds of client accounts can mean significant data normalisation issues, that need to be managed at speed to meet tight deadlines for your clients. Client clearing With Duco you can Ingest complex derivatives data from multiple sources without the need for pre-transformation Use multi-pass capabilities to reconcile across sources in one process Scale easily to manage significant volumes with ease Clearing & settlement Operations Cash reconciliations are a vital and mandatory control. They receive high levels of scrutiny from regulators, and touch almost every area of your operations department. And the nature of them means they require complicated investigations and loads of manual work between multiple systems and stakeholders to identify the root causes of breaks. Cash account With Duco you can reduce complexity and increase agility without sacrificing vital controls. Treasury & cash Payments reconciliations can be challenging when you’re dealing with many sources and payment providers, all with unique data formats. Disconnected systems, inflexible technology, currency differences and manual workflows can make the process even more complicated. Payments With Duco you can Ingest data in multiple currencies and formats with little or no pre-transformation Use multi-pass and fuzzy matching to make sense out of messy data Eliminate manual workarounds Trading sheets, sub-ledgers, bank statements, and manual entries all have different formats, presenting challenges for balance sheet substantiation. Ensuring accurate consolidated reconciliation can be a challenge when you’re using inflexible legacy technology, or worse, manual spreadsheet reconciliations as a workaround. Balance sheet With Duco you can Ingest, normalise and reconcile data from multiple sources without prior data transformation Ensure transparency and streamline compliance with built-in governance and full audit trail functionality Payments & financial control Finance Transaction data needs to be accurate, complete and timely, validated with post-reporting reconciliations. And with refits, rewrites and updates on regulations around the world, you need to ensure the flexibility to adapt those reconciliations when you need to. Transaction & regulatory reporting (regime agnostic) Duco gives you the flexibility to keep up with regulatory change. Transaction & reg reporting The risk reporting environment is growing in complexity. In addition to the challenges around risk reporting methods in annual reports, regulations like BCBS 239 and others require timely, accurate and granular reporting of risk data in specific formats. Organisations need to be flexible and adaptable to respond to changing data requirements as well as to changes to the regulations themselves. Risk reporting (regime agnostic) With Duco you can Ingest files from multiple sources in multiple formats without ETL Eliminate spreadsheets and manual workarounds Improve data quality and auditability Risk teams are busier than ever in the face of a fast-changing business landscape. As processes, systems and activities shift, the complexity associated with compiling, normalising and reconciling risk data continues to increase. Having confidence in your risk exposure and financial health at all times, across all areas of risk, is vital but to do this your teams must deal with large volumes of highly complex data, drawn from disparate sources, in varying file formats. Risk data integrity With Duco you can Ingest data without a pre-defined schema Ditch pre-transformation Improve match rates and get to real breaks faster Risk reporting & data integrity Risk & Compliance When migrating between old and new systems, you need to ensure that your data remains accurate and complete. But frequently, errors can creep in, particularly if you are relying on spreadsheets and existing platforms. Bad data frequently doesn’t show itself until late in the process, when it can have the biggest impact. Data/system migration With Duco you can Validate large amounts of disparate data that other systems can’t handle without major transformation projects Validate core numeric, textual and static data as well as calculated/processed data Lighten the impact of scoping and setup with no-code reconciliations Without trustworthy, complete and consistent reference data, errors creep into processes across the business and create mayhem down stream.

Automate and accelerate your operations without sacrificing governance and control. --- ### Cash Account https://du.co/solutions/cash-account/ Duco helps you reduce manual work, improve visibility and reduce risk for vital cash reconciliations #### Rich Text USE CASE Cash account reconciliations #### Two Col Intro Most commercial activity results in some kind of cash transaction, so investigations, when they happen, often involve a wide range of internal and external stakeholders and loads of manual work to identify true root causes of breaks. Due to their nature, cash reconciliations require a high level of oversight, and receive significant scrutiny from regulators. Getting it wrong can be costly, with significant fines for responsible parties if controls are not properly implemented and managed. #### Challenges The cost of unnecessary manual work CHALLENGE Frequently cash reconciliations require hours of resource-hungry manual work on complex break investigations for simple data errors that should have been picked up. SAVE TIME AND DITCH MANUAL MATCHING Starting checks, tolerances and the ability to include additional data elements to your cash process improve accuracy and help to eliminate manual matching. Account governance CHALLENGE Accounts don’t always line up. When statements have multiple sub-accounts that need to be reconciled against a single one on the internal ledger, you may end up stuck with multiple repetitive processes. ELIMINATE REPETITIVE PROCESSES AND GET CONTROL OF YOUR ACCOUNTS Consolidate various account combinations into one process. No more managing data across multiple views. You can run the same process for multiple accounts, saving time and avoiding duplicate manual work. And everything is automatically documented for complete audibility. Cash investigations involve a lot of people CHALLENGE Cash break investigations are broad and complex. They can hit investment teams, trade operations, and finance as well as external counterparties. With this many people involved, investigating false breaks can create chaos. REDUCE FALSE BREAKS AND AVOID UNNECESSARY INVESTIGATIONS Use Duco’s Natural Rule Language to set up auto-match rules and exception tolerances to filter out the noise of false breaks. Transactions under the tolerance can automatically be matched – no investigation needed. Adapting to change is a challenge CHALLENGE Legacy tech, especially on-prem solutions, can struggle to keep up with changing file formats and new processes. Adapting your processes to new requirements can be challenging and costly, inhibiting business improvement. FLEXIBLE, SCHEMA-FREE MODEL ADAPTS QUICKLY TO CHANGING REQUIREMENTS Duco’s SaaS model eliminates the need for costly upgrades when requirements change. And you can change or create new reconciliations within hours, without large development projects. Rules are easy to update, test and promote through dedicated sandbox/UAT environments.

All perform cash reconciliations, and the larger the firm, the more complex the reconciliation, and the more robust the controls need to be. These can include integrity checks and standardized workflows. External account recs: A firm’s control of their internal book of records vs their Cash held with other financial institutions Internal account recs: Comparing activity and balances between ledger and subledger (eg accounts payable vs customer accounts or vendor accounts. Temporary account reconciliations, a.k.a. wash, suspense, or zero balance account reconciliation. What is Cash Reconciliation? Firms need to reconcile cash (& associated securities movements) with external financial institutions to: Ensure correct financial reporting Detect fraud Ensure client funds are secure Have enough liquidity to meet obligations (investor protection) They do internal reconciliations to: Detect fraud Have enough liquidity to meet obligations (investor protection) Ensure accuracy and completeness of records across ledger and subledger Ensure all transaction that can’t be attributed immediately are eventually allocated Ensure suspense accounts zero balances These more traditional reconciliations are universal, mandatory and mission critical. Why is Cash Reconciliation Important? Lack of agility, increased risk from off-system workarounds, tangible & intangible costs: With a legacy/on-premise tool, even small changes mean IT projects, so budgets are allocated to maintenance & upgrades rather than business improvement. When time and money run out, teams go off-system and custom design processes to plug remaining shortcomings of legacy/on-premise solutions installed decade(s) ago As these off-system processes and workarounds scale up and get embedded, the amount of time teams spend struggling with spreadsheets/errors/audit issues grows, and the business agility decreases. Teams are drowning in KTLO tasks instead of solving real business problems/future proofing their software. How Does Automation Improve the Cash Reconciliation Process? Automation enables you to build your workflows around best practices. Without automation, workflows (and workarounds) are typically more spreadsheet and email based, thus slower, more prone to error and more opaque.

Duco helps you reduce manual work, improve visibility and reduce risk for vital cash reconciliations --- ### CFTC https://du.co/solutions/cftc/ Meet the challenges of the CFTC rewrite with Duco's agile, no-code reconciliation solution. #### Hero Regulatory data quality for CFTC Reporting Be confident in the accuracy of your data and of your ability to meet changing CFTC requirements. #### Two Col Intro CFTC rules are prescriptive to focus on data quality The CFTC Rewrite is now fully live. Changes include field amendments, stricter reconciliation requirements and tighter error notification windows. Data complexity is increasing at the same time as regulators are putting increased focus on accuracy and completeness. And the new Rewrite is just one of the regulatory reporting overhauls currently facing operations teams. #### Challenges How can I quickly adapt my operational processes to stay compliant? CHALLENGE PROBLEM Change is constant, with more updates likely on the horizon. Legacy tech stacks adapt at glacial pace and require heavy IT involvement. SOLUTION Give business users power over data controls. Our proprietary no-code Natural Rule Language (NRL) enables non-technical staff to remap existing processes, or build new reconciliations, quickly and easily. New field requirements add even more data sources and formats CHALLENGE PROBLEM CFTC reporting requires you to gather data from tens of systems and these records all need transforming and reconciling to ensure their accuracy. SOLUTION Ditch ETL with our schema-free and data-agnostic platform. It’s able to ingest files in multiple formats from multiple systems. Easily gather, standardise and reconcile data before automatically feeding it to downstream reporting tools. Reporting timeframes are tighter and errors need correcting fast CHALLENGE PROBLEM Most firms now have to report trades on T+1 and everyone has just seven days to notify the DTCC of errors. But legacy systems reconcile slowly and error identification is a tedious process. SOLUTION Unlock lightning-fast reconciliation and laser-focused exception management. Our data quality solution for the CFTC Rewrite can easily handle wide, complex data. The cloud-powered matching algorithm cuts runtimes and exceptions are pinpointed for rapid identification, assignment and resolution. Changing data requirements need an agile solution CHALLENGE PROBLEM With new data types like UPIs and UTIs, and a move to XML messaging standards, your systems and reconciliations may still reconfiguring to keep up. SOLUTION Say goodbye to multi-month change projects, IT cross-charges and business requirements documents. Duco’s data quality solution keeps you agile in the face of change. The CFTC Rewrite aims for better data quality and more transparent markets. Delivering this, however, puts enormous pressure on firms. But many of the problems are caused by outdated technology. Financial firms have historically reacted to regulatory change on a case-by-case basis. This has created a complex web of point solutions and one-time fixes. There’s a wave of regulatory change that goes far beyond the CFTC Rewrite. It’s time to embrace the latest tools and tackle data quality issues holistically, across your organisation. This will enable you to meet any changes head on, building an operating model that keeps you ready for whatever comes next.

Book a 30 min demo. #### Rich Text USE CASE Holdings & activity: Derivatives #### Two Col Intro Reconciling ETD and OTC trade data can be challenging. Fractional pricing, false breaks on time zones or simple language differences, allocating bulk trades all mean additional complexity. With increasing regulatory scrutiny putting more focus on transparency and speed, operational burdens are getting heavier. Getting it wrong can mean audits and fines from regulators, and they’ll only increase as regulations continue to evolve. Beyond audits and fines, unclear or inaccurate data could obscure risk exposures and impact client reporting. #### Challenges Meeting compressing market timeframes CHALLENGE Timelines are compressing for OTC derivatives, and breaks don’t age well – they become more difficult to resolve the older they get. BUILD FAST, RECONCILE FASTER With Duco you can build reconciliations in days, without a large IT project. Running them takes minutes, and with rule-based automated labelling and break assignment, you can cut investigation times to help you meet tight deadlines. Lack of standardisation CHALLENGE Varying data quality from counterparties can lead to manual work normalising and transforming data to even get to the point where a recon can be run. GO NO-CODE TO CUT MANUAL WORK Natural Rule Language helps you manage messy or complex data. You can join or split data, link tables and run multiple passes on reference data, with almost no manual intervention. Lack of flexibility CHALLENGE Keeping up with changing regulatory requirements can be challenging with legacy tech. With EMIR and CFTC updates requiring break fixes within seven days, speed, flexibility and streamlined exception handling are ‘must-haves’.

There are explicit requirements to ensure reported data is complete, accurate and timely. This will mean ensuring data quality upstream and performing post-reporting reconciliations quickly across diverging EU and UK regimes. #### Challenges Avoiding fines and sanctions CHALLENGE PROBLEM Inaccurate or incomplete data leads to attention from the regulator.

There are new clearing thresholds for NFCs, while FCs need to report all over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives trades. Additionally, the Refit has expanded the definition of “financial counterparty” to include new entities, such as Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) and their managers (AIFMs), as well as Small Financial Counterparties (SFCs). Clearing and reporting obligations vary depending upon entity and type of derivative contract. Who has a reporting obligation under EMIR? The EMIR Refit goes live on 29 April 2024 in the EU and 30 September 2024 in the UK. When does the EMIR Refit come into force? 1. Are you underreporting or overreporting? 2. Do you have the right controls in place between your source systems and reporting engine? 3. Can you investigate daily mismatch data from trade repositories? 4. How do you manage reconciliation between diverging EU and UK regimes? 5. Are you testing your end-to-end controls as part of the UAT phase? For more information see this article What are the top five key concerns with reporting under EMIR Refit? In line with global financial services adoption of ISO 20022, ESMA is prescribing reporting in ISO XML 20022 format for the EMIR Refit. What is the intended reporting format for the EMIR Refit? There are 203 total fields with 15 removed from the previous version and 89 new reportable fields. Responding to the complexity of change is causing huge challenges for market participants. How many fields are there in the EMIR refit? The UK will adopt its own version of the EMIR Refit, going live on 30 September 2024. While the regulation is expected to be similar, there will likely be divergence from the EU version. How does Brexit affect EMIR? Both EMIR and the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) II require firms to report the same types of transaction data to regulators, and both have a T+1 reporting timeframe. However, EMIR covers only derivatives trades, while MiFID II applies to bonds, derivatives, equities, emissions allowances and structured finance products. Under EMIR, firms must report to Trade Repositories (TRs), while under MiFID II firms must report in near-real time to an Approved Publication Arrangement (APA) and to an Approved Reporting Mechanism (ARM) on T+1. What’s the difference between EMIR and MiFID II? Meet the challenges of the EMIR refit with Duco's agile, no-code reconciliation solution. --- ### ETD Clearing https://du.co/solutions/etd-clearing/ Duco has extensive experience in ETD and OTC trade data reconciliations across a range of buy and sell-side customers. Book a 30 min demo. #### Rich Text USE CASE ETD clearing Rapidly build transparent, automated controls for ETD clearing #### Two Col Intro When executing, allocating and clearing ETDs, errors in trade, position or margin data can create significant risks – from poor deployment of capital to errors in client reporting and regulatory scrutiny. You need a solution that can help you trust your data in the face of daily mark-to-market valuations, multiple regulatory regimes and varying data requirements from exchanges and CCPs. #### Challenges Wide, complex data CHALLENGE Fractional pricing, varying date formats, data from different sources can all create havoc when trying to reconcile, leading to manual workarounds and unnecessary investigations of false breaks. UNCOMPLICATE YOUR DATA Duco is schemaless, handling wide, complex derivatives data without pre-transformation. Messy data is normalised and transformed in the platform, without the need for additional solutions. Less than impressive match rates CHALLENGE Daily mark-to-market valuations on contracts can make it difficult to match transactions. Break investigations can be slow and manual, and breaks do more damage the older they get. IMPROVE MATCH RATES AND SPEED INVESTIGATIONS Duco eliminates false breaks, delivering better match rates from the start so your team can focus on true problems. Automated workflows speed up those investigations, automatically routing problems to the right team for remediation. Significant market movements CHALLENGE Sudden market movements can play havoc with valuations, leading to incorrect collateral allocation, incorrect capital allocations and poor risk management. HANDLE WHATEVER THE MARKET THROWS AT YOU Duco can help you reconcile accurately and fast, with automated processes triggered at specific times, or as data comes in. Connected processes provide a total equity view to ensure collateral is in the right place across desks, regardless of market movements. Transparency & auditability CHALLENGE Manual workarounds and managing investigations via email negatively impact auditability. Without a clear understanding of who did what and when, it’s difficult to ensure that the right decisions are being made. TRUST YOUR DATA…AND HOW YOU GOT THERE You can view Duco’s audit logs at an exception level, seeing what the problem was, who handled it and what was done. Duco processes are also self-documenting, so you can see all the parameters of a reconciliation – from inputs to match rules – in one automatically generated PDF. Duco can automate reconciliations between internal records and systems like XTP and GMI or exchanges.

And it’s not just the fines that are expensive. Audits and remediation programmes are costly, and reputational damage can be significant. SOLUTION Duco can help you ensure that the data you’re sending to the Trade Repository is accurate, complete and in the right format. Our solution can help you quickly identify issues that need correcting upstream to avoid repeated errors. Futureproofing processes CHALLENGE PROBLEM Adding or changing data inputs is a challenge with inflexible tech and huge internal change control projects as regulations evolve. SOLUTION Our pre-configured solution is already mapped to the relevant ISO XML fields and is linked to our Data Prep module, meaning you can normalise and transform data quickly and easily in the platform. You can scale quickly without adding cost or sacrificing controls for speed. Managing divergent regimes CHALLENGE PROBLEM ASIC, EMIR UK, EMIR EU and CFTC are sharing key reporting requirements, but some fields and formats diverge across regimes, leading to headaches for reporting and maintenance. Particularly with more regular regulatory ‘tweaks’ rather than infrequent large changes. SOLUTION Our preconfigured processes simplify mapping internal data to submission formats. And they are maintained by Duco, so there’s no need for large change projects as regulations evolve. The MAS Rewrite is presenting similar operational challenges to other recent regulatory updates. Firms are grappling with finding and managing the data for new reportable fields, new UTI generation processes and package identifiers.

However the scope and obligations of MiFID reporting present inherent data risks, especially when reporting through a third party. This means firms need to carry out pre- and post-submission reconciliations to check original data against the final submission. cream Who has to report? Buy-side and sell-side firms reporting on their own behalf or through a third party/ARM Exchanges and ARMs reporting on behalf of members #### Challenges Enrichment leads to data risk CHALLENGE Legacy systems often can’t handle the data transformation and enrichment that happens prior to submission. Reference data like LEIs and ISINs, and 3rd party processes make it hard to trace errors back to source, but missing them can lead to audits and fines. FILTER OUT ENRICHMENT NOISE Set up pre- and post-submission reconciliations quickly and easily. Configure reconciliations between the transitions to ensure consistent data throughout. With enhanced workflow, you can link outputs to navigate to underlying issues easily. Ensuring data quality CHALLENGE Data elements like instrument ID code, maturity date and expiry date formats will differ by asset class. Each asset class will likely need its own reconciliation, which can be challenging to set up and manage on legacy systems with inflexible schemas. INCREASE AGILITY AND DITCH ETL With Duco you’re not constrained by restrictive data models or lengthy ETL processes. You can take in asset classes or market segments quickly, while retaining visibility of the processes where data could break down. Many firms are still struggling with MiFID II data quality controls. Embedded or legacy reporting tools may not have the robust match rates and reconciliation capabilities you need for post-reporting checks. They may also require long projects or manual workarounds when business needs or regulations change. And with MiFID III on the horizon, fields will likely be changing again. Now is the time to rethink your model and find a tool that has the flexibility you need to stay compliant while adapting to business and regulatory changes. Meet the challenges of MiFID II post-reporting reconciliations #### Testimonials Ranith de Silva MiFID II transaction data needs to undergo a number of enrichment processes between front office capture and the final report, which need to be replicated in the reconciliation process, covering large complex data sets.

Book a 30 min demo. #### Rich Text USE CASE OTC derivatives confirmations Master OTC confirmations with scalable, automated controls #### Two Col Intro Structured OTC confirmations are complex, with multiple documents containing the parameters of the deal. But those parameters can change after the term sheet is created, trade bookings can have errors, and multi-leg trades increase data complexity. Often, the data in these deals is locked in PDFs, requiring manual rekeying to get it into a format for reconciliation to ensure clients, front office and middle/back office all have the right data. It’s not scalable and not cost effective. #### Challenges Manual processes kill speed CHALLENGE Manual processing is slow. With hundreds of deals a month, backlogs build and can’t be cleared without more headcount. AUTOMATE TO ACCELERATE Duco eliminates manual rekeying, and can reduce the time spent manually reviewing data by up to 5x. Exception management workflows ensure fast break resolution and reliable audit trails. Bad data = operational risk CHALLENGE Bad data comes from many sources – manual errors, disparate formats from counterparties… If they’re not found and fixed quickly they impact other systems and get more expensive to unpick. AUTOMATE EXTRACTION FOR BETTER DATA Duco extracts unstructured data, normalises it and reconciles it in one platform, eliminating many of the causes of breaks. True errors are found and routed to the right people for correction quickly. Scaling is challenging CHALLENGE With manual processes and heavy review requirements, the only way to scale is by adding more people. Large teams are stuck doing boring, repetitive tasks that could be automated so they could be working on higher value tasks. DON’T LET YOUR PROCESSES SLOW YOUR GROWTH With Duco you can scale effortlessly – adding new inputs, spinning up new processes, and adjusting AI models quickly and easily. So teams can focus their energy where it really makes a difference. Lack of auditability CHALLENGE Manual rekeying, back-and-forth over email, off-book processes – all breaks the audit trail. Root cause analysis, audit trail, and process governance become difficult. SELF-DOCUMENTING TRANSPARENCY Duco provides self-documenting processes, robust governance and permissioning, and automated exception management workflow with 4-eye review. So you can make sure you remain efficient while also ensuring absolute transparency. Duco provides an agile, auditable solution to process high volume, complex transactions at speed. Ensure scalability with automated, AI-powered data extraction, integrated data normalisation capabilities, robust reconciliation and automated exception management workflows. And with self-documenting processes and human in the loop AI, Duco can help you ensure auditability and transparency too.

Trade fails happen, but even with a low estimate of 2% of trades failing, the value of these errors can be in the millions and can result in significant operational challenges as well as penalties. Not being able to spot fails quickly means problems persist, more trades are executed incorrectly, and risk is carried for longer. #### Challenges Lack of standardisation CHALLENGE Varying data quality from counterparties can lead to manual work normalising and transforming data to even get to the point where a recon can be run. Particularly where SWIFT adoption isn’t strong. GAIN FLEXIBILITY AND EFFICIENCY Natural Rule Language helps you manage messy or complex data. Easily transform and reconcile data with little to no manual intervention. And late data stops being a problem – automated snapshot runs can be set to run as data comes in. You’ll get fewer false breaks and can get to investigations faster. Clunky workflows CHALLENGE Daily workflows, from initial integrity checks to exception management, can be clunky and time-consuming with legacy solutions. FLEXIBLE, AUTOMATED WORKFLOW ADAPTS TO YOUR PROCESSES Automated workflows are simple in Duco. “If break is x then do y”. Labelling, assigning investigators, commenting are all done quickly and can be done in bulk. You define your best practices and build workflows that follow them. Complex regulatory landscape CHALLENGE Initiatives like T+1 are requiring faster transaction settlement, while CSDR is upping reporting and information requirements and penalising trade fails. Existing systems and manual workarounds are unlikely to be able to cope with one very well, let alone both. DUCO PROVIDES THE AGILITY TO BE BOTH FASTER AND BETTER Duco’s best-in-class matching engine, easy rule setup and automated exception management helps ensure faster reconciliations and ultimately better data. Meet tight deadlines without sacrificing controls.

See how Duco can help you meet the challenging timelines. #### Media Text The move to T+1 impacts 40% of the global securities market (SIFMA Quarterly Report, April 2023) and means that most firms have to change everything from batch processing settlements to managing securities depot and cash transactions. While the move to T+1 will likely reduce risk in the trade settlement process, it adds complexity and (potentially) cost. You might think you can automate your way out of it. But automating processes with bad data still leaves you with exceptions that you need to manage on T+0 to meet the new timelines. #### Challenges Fundamental shift in processes CHALLENGE PROBLEM Exceptions will now need to be found and managed on T+0. Overnight batch processes, manual break investigations and workarounds will need to go. Existing processes across the business – from collateral management to intercompany transactions – will need to accommodate new timelines. SOLUTION In Duco you can build and adapt processes quickly as business needs change, without coding or heavy IT involvement. You can trigger intra-day snapshot runs at specific times or as submissions come in, proactively managing exceptions and getting a jump on investigations. Preventing breaks before they happen CHALLENGE PROBLEM Exceptions take too long to manage. You can try to throw more people at the problem, but it’s costly and likely not to make enough of a difference. Getting to better data will be the key, but how can you prevent breaks before they happen? SOLUTION Start with better data. Duco can help you prevent exceptions before they happen. Aggregate data from many sources, validate things like SSIs before trades happen, and push into upstream systems or downstream to reconciliations. You get the right data in one place to get out in front of breaks, without significant added cost. Managing exceptions faster CHALLENGE PROBLEM Even with data-centric processes and pre-trade validation, breaks will happen and they need to be managed as quickly as possible. But investigations by email aren’t going to cut it. SOLUTION Duco’s best-in-class match rates mean you’re filtering out the noise and not wasting time on false breaks. Automated exception workflows help you get to investigations faster with rule-based automated labelling and assignments to cut investigation times significantly. Maintaining existing processes has likely been challenging – if not impossible – especially with clients in other time zones. Exceptions will need to be managed on T+0 so overnight batch runs, investigations and even intercompany processes need to change. Without a fundamental shift to a data-centric approach, firms will struggle to meet deadlines and data requirements. This will likely mean moving to intra-day, proactive exception management.

Regulations including the EMIR Refit, MiFID II, and the CFTC Rewrite are putting even more focus on accuracy, completeness and timeliness of reported data, while also compressing timelines. Keeping up with changing requirements often means completely rebuilding regulatory reconciliations – large, resource-hungry change projects with BRDs, reviews, testing and significant contingency spend – when you’re facing rigid regulatory deadlines. Duco covers global regimes, including: #### Challenges Adapting to regulatory change CHALLENGE If you’ve historically reacted to regulatory change on a case-by-case basis, your complex web of point solutions and one-off fixes will be struggling to cope. SAVE TIME AND DITCH MANUAL MATCHING Duco’s no-code Natural Rule Language enables non-technical teams to remap existing processes – or build new ones – quickly and easily. Parameters are captured automatically for transparency and auditability. Avoiding fines and sanctions CHALLENGE Inaccurate or incomplete data leads to attention from the regulator. And it’s not just fines that are expensive. Audits and remediation actions are costly, and reputational damage can be significant. ELIMINATE REPETITIVE PROCESSES AND GET CONTROL OF YOUR ACCOUNTS Duco can help you ensure the data you’re sending to regulators is accurate, complete and in the right format. Our solutions help you meet the requirements of post-reporting reconciliations and quickly and easily identify issues that need correcting upstream. Managing multiple regimes CHALLENGE There are a lot of similarities between reporting regimes but they are not identical. Brexit is also leading to divergence between the EU and UK on shared regimes like EMIR. Regime-specific solutions and static recs just won’t cut it for global businesses. REDUCE FALSE BREAKS AND AVOID UNNECESSARY INVESTIGATIONS With Duco, maintaining multiple reconciliations and adapting them as regulations change is simple, straightforward and transparent. Current processes are resource heavy CHALLENGE Manual workarounds that compensate for poor data quality and highly complex processes frequently end in dozens of people spending time on something that should really be automated. FLEXIBLE, SCHEMA-FREE MODEL ADAPTS QUICKLY TO CHANGING REQUIREMENTS You can transform and normalise data in Duco. Our complex matching algorithm and rule-based tolerances get you to solid data faster so your team can focus on the tasks that matter. Duco helps firms manage the cost and complexity of vital regulatory reporting controls. Our scalable, no-code SaaS platform, combined with professional services and out-of-the-box solutions, provide robust capabilities for intersystem reconciliations and post-reporting controls. You can implement Duco’s regulatory reporting solutions with expert professional services support in a matter of weeks. Business users can update inputs and adjust rules and tolerances without code.

Risk management, trade settlement, regulatory reporting and more suffer as a result. The Reconciliation Maturity Model is your best practice guide to achieving reconciliation excellence: the most efficient, low-cost and low-risk controls to ensure accurate, trustable data.
