Spreadsheet Failure (Before)Manual Slog

Manual Data Flow Trap

1Manual

Confirm Pasted

Settlement and rate fields are typed from the broker confirm.

2Stale

Stale Mark

The workbook is not refreshed to the valuation date.

3Missed MTM

Year-End Surprise

Auditors find MTM that was never posted.

Root Operational Bottleneck

FX forward settlements and mark-to-market values are typed from broker confirms into a hedge workbook, so MTM moves wait until someone opens the sheet.

Continuous Assertion Rule

MTM assertion: every open hedge must have a valuation on the reporting date from the stored curve, and the posted MTM must equal that valuation or the period cannot close.
