Dodd-Frank Trade Reporting isn’t coming … it’s here. February 28, 2013 was the date that Major Swap Participants (MSPs) were required to begin reporting equity, foreign exchange and other commodity swaps. And this is just the beginning of a series of milestones in the regulation that was designed to prevent future “too big to fail scenarios,” such as what occurred during the Global Financial Crisis of 2008. But, there is a bigger story here around regulation and compliance and how IT is used to ensure transparency, accuracy and accountability in reporting.

Proactive Monitoring and the Super Bowl

Most of the time these sorts of failures do not materialize out of nowhere, no matter who is singing and dancing… Continue reading

I overheard that something new might have been installed last week. Could there be a memory leak? Are they checking for one? Are they looking in the right place? Continue reading

Time is Money
I don’t know of anyone that looks forward to balancing their checking account. If you actually do it and don’t just rely on hope that the money won’t run out before you finish spending, you might find a discrepancy. Was it your fault or an error by the bank? Of course, it’s the bank’s error. Well, truth be told…that’s not usually the case. Put yourself in their shoes and try to imagine what it would be to keep track of billions of dollars and all the transactions that accompany that amount of money. Continue reading
