Recently CS Company has fulfilled the projeсt of the Securities Module implementation in Raiffeisen Bank.

Raiffeisen Bank’s plans to increase the number of operations with securities became a ground for improvement of their accounting process. 

Earlier the deals accounting was performed in the front-office system – TrustDealSecurities, which enabled the performance of the treasury operations from the time the agreements were concluded until their transfer to the bank’s back-office system and their accounting was conducted manually.

In order to minimize the human factor impact and provide the automation support of the operations with securities the bank’s treasury back-office initiated the project of the  TrustDealSecurities front-office system integration with the CBS B2 module – Securities. 

Securities module was developed for the active involvement of investors and work on the stock market. Among its features that are used by the bank can be identified:

• conducting deals with securities automatically in the CBS B2 Securities Module; purchase/sale of securities; securities packages in the bank portfolio based on the dealer’s data in the   TrustDealSecurities system;
• automated generation of documents on accounting and payment for the securities;
• automated calculation of the effective interest rate and the amortization graphic building;
• operating with the securities portfolio;
• automatic interest accrual, amortization of discount/premium, revaluation of securities, redemption of coupons/dividends;
• automation of the reserves accounting taking into account the corrective accounting transactions;
• reconciliation of the front-office system TrustDealSecurities and CBS B2 Securities Module with a help of the mistakes online-control and reports reconciliation according to securities purchase/sale and securities packages;
• automatic generation of the regulator reporting based on the data of the Securities module deals.

As a result, deals with the securities  conducted in the front-office system TrustDealSecurities, automatically fall to the back-office where they are being accounted: automatic documents generation for  the securities accounting, automatic reconciliation of the front- and back-office systems and reporting generation for the regulator.

Volodymyr Lapa, Head of the CS Office in Kyiv:

Recently we have successfully implemented the project in Raiffeisen Bank which aim was to automate the work of the treasury back-office employees with securities operations. Projects implementation enabled the bank to reduce operational risks connected with the manual input, to make the work with securities easier and  to increase the bandwidth of the back-office».

Tetiana Hryn, Head of the back-office department, Raiffeisen Bank:

• Integration with TrustDealSecurities was performed not with the help of the DB-link, but according to the bank's requirements with a use of Kafka.
• Within the Securities Module the extended electronic signature with a timestamp according to the CAdES-X Long standard  was implemented.
