Operating Model
What changes operationally
- Custody and client money positions are reconciled across every custodian in one engine, so the firm has a single consolidated position.
- Each break carries its investigation, its resolution and its reviewer, so CASS evidence is assembled continuously.
- CMAR, breach records and audit evidence all draw from the same sealed runs, so the regulatory record is internally consistent.
