) Process: Domestic Trade (Control Ref DT-09)
Control Description:
As part of daily processing, a Maker from the Securities Services team prints the securities holding report from the Central Depository detailing the securities holdings and reconciles the stock balances in the report against the securities holding report generated from NCS. Upon completion of the reconciliation, a Checker reviews the reconciliation and signs off the reconciliation reports. Any discrepancies in the reconciliation will be investigated and followed up by the Maker.
Work done by EY:
Inspected a sample of reconciliation report to determine whether the Checker has reviewed as evidenced by sign off and discrepancies, if any are supported with valid reasons.
Exceptions noted:
Out of 29 samples, we noted that 2 samples (i.e. 2 dates - 25 Oct 2012 and 15 Nov 2012) where the holding reconciliation was not performed. This was due to a fault in NCS where the holdings report could not be generated and was escalated to Head of Securities Services. A ticket was raised to the IT dept and holdings recon were performed on the subsequent day once the NCS fault was resolved by the IT dept.
Update:
We requested and obtained additional 15 samples and noted no exceptions for the 15 samples and we require the following additional information:
i) Details on why the NCS holdings report could not be generated (eg: error code, background on the error, etc)
ii) Statistics on the relying on subsequent day of recon as the holding report was not NCS fault (it will be helpful if you can also include the NCS fault that was resolved within the same day and managed to perform the recon on the same day)
iii) tickets to IT for the two dates above
