Investment Accounting & Reporting

The securities sub-ledger is where market data, custodian records and the general ledger must agree, every closing. I have run, redesigned and migrated that function for insurers and reinsurers for 25 years.

The problem

Investment accounting sits between asset management and finance, and belongs to neither. Amortised cost models, impairment, multi-GAAP valuation (French GAAP, IFRS, US GAAP) and custodian reconciliations demand both accounting rigour and market instrument knowledge.

When the function weakens, the symptoms surface at closing: unexplained valuation gaps, aging suspense accounts, manual entries nobody can justify to the auditor.

What I deliver

Sub-ledger operations: securities accounting schemes by instrument class, amortised cost and effective-rate models, impairment.
Reconciliation and clearing: custodian and depositary reconciliation, suspense account clearing plans, closing controls.
Fast-close: investment closing redesign, cut-off discipline, automated controls.
Management and ALM output: investment reporting, ALM and SCR input production, look-through.
