Spreadsheet Failure (Before)Manual Slog

Manual Data Flow Trap

1Confirm Pasted

Manual

Settlement and rate fields are typed from the broker confirm.

2Stale Mark

Stale

The workbook is not refreshed to the valuation date.

3Year-End Surprise

Missed MTM

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.

Control Hazard & Audit Exposure

Unrecorded MTM balance-sheet adjustments surprise auditors at year end because the workbook was not refreshed to the valuation date.
