process

automated processes for the digital finance industry

There are usually big differences between theoretically defined company processes and their implementation in everyday operation. An extensively documented set of process rules does not automatically mean that employees can use them in day-to-day business. Digital tools are often not even available to employees. Specified processes can therefore not be carried out efficiently.

Facts

In order to meet dynamic market requirements, individual processes with deviations from defined company processes are created at team level.

Due to a lack of digitization or internal IT resources, documentation and regulatory requirements are time-consuming and are carried out manually.

2

Self-help of individual employees through historically grown and complex automations based on Excel macros to meet the requirements of day-to-day business – automated processes that are lived, but nobody knows.

All “lived” business processes and IDP automations are recorded in the operational department. The processes are disclosed, expert logic is documented, and the possible degree of optimization and automation is derived.

Manual, time-consuming, and costly processes, which can be automated promptly, are optimized in the first step, and then mapped in lightweight and high-performance tools. The tools are introduced efficiently and unbureaucratically into the day-to-day operations of the relevant departments – the team gets the tools it needs.

Business processes that cannot be automated are given a risk assessment with verifiable derivation and documentation.

A regulatory-oriented and comprehensible update of the existing company processes complete the procedure.

These areas are subject to extensive consideration in every interim or annual audit. Possible results are notifications of defects in the form of findings.

Due to their strong involvement in day-to-day business, internal IT departments are hardly in a position to deal with the additional workload due to the complex notifications of defects in a timely manner.
