A ready-to-use business case toolkit for reconciliation automation
A practical toolkit for capital markets operations leaders
Manual reconciliation is widely accepted as a cost of doing business, but its true impact is often underestimated. This toolkit helps you quantify the full cost and build a clear, finance-ready case for automation using peer-validated benchmarks and a ready-to-use model.
What this guide helps you do:
This toolkit gives you a structured approach to quantify the cost of manual reconciliation and translate it into a clear investment case.
Inside the guide, you’ll learn how to:
-
Quantify the full cost of reconciliation beyond headcount - including legacy tooling, settlement fails, and break
-
Apply peer benchmarks to model realistic improvement
-
Build a CFO-ready business case with clear ROI and payback
Why this matters:
The true cost of reconciliation is often fragmented: Most organisations account for direct effort, but overlook the wider cost base across:
-
Settlement fails and associated penalties
-
Legacy tooling and IT support
-
Break investigation and error remediation
-
Audit and regulatory remediation
When included, these factors can significantly increase the total cost baseline and change the scale of the opportunity.
