Regulatory Reporting
Regulatory Reporting is a key process in the Finance industry, as companies must demonstrate to authorities that they are compliant with legal requirements, providing best practice services and overall operating within law within their operations and activities.
Regulatory Reporting professionals are responsible for overseeing this process and checking operations are compliant through evaluation, inspection, and risk management. They must have a reliable knowledge of Banking services and products, as well as activities to monitor activity and keep operations transparent to regulators.
Financial Reporting
Financial Reporting collects, documents and analyses a bank’s financial activities which will be reported to external shareholders, investors and stakeholders to evaluate the bank’s financial health as well as making important business decisions.
Financial Reporting professionals are well-trusted to not only manage the financial reporting process, but also the organisation’s activities, financial health and providing guidance towards improvement across these areas. In a similar activity to Regulatory Reporting, Financial reporting individuals will provide regular reports to regulatory authorities.
Fund Accountant
Fund Accountants are responsible for a business’s day to day accounting activities. They will oversee financial performance in transactions and procedures, making sure statements are compliant with financial regulations.
A further part of their role is administrative activities in preparing accounts and reporting/recording investment funds, alongside investment portfolio management. Rather than a numerical role, they will monitor data within these tasks.
Using their expertise, they will offer support in decision making for successful funding and implementation of funding structures.
Treasurer
Treasurers will be an important figure in an organisation in managing their finances, including day-to-day activities in cash flow management, risk evaluation and contributing to decision-making. Whilst having a similar role to an Accountant, Treasurers have a different role through optimising cash flow management, to align with desired business objectives.
To be a successful Treasurer, its key to have financial market knowledge and risk management to apply to business strategy. They will be close to the business and its leaders, so relationship management and good communication skills are a must-have.
