Executive Summary

A large regional bank needed to modernize General Ledger reconciliation across 28 products and more than 2,000 GL accounts. Manual processes, inconsistent practices, and growing backlogs increased the risk of errors and delayed critical finance activities.

Altimetrik implemented a domain-led transformation combining standardized workflows, governance, automated data sourcing, and record matching. The initiative cleared more than 25,000 aged breaks, improved process quality to over 99%, and established a foundation for agentic AI-led exception management.

Business Challenge

The reconciliation function relied heavily on manual effort, increasing the risk of human error. Processes varied across products, while unresolved breaks accumulated and affected financial reporting and P&L visibility. Strict deadlines and zero tolerance for inaccuracies placed further pressure on finance teams.

Why It Mattered

GL reconciliation ensures balances in the General Ledger align with deposits, loans, payments, and other source systems. Inaccurate or unresolved breaks could delay reporting, weaken audit readiness, and increase regulatory risk. The bank needed a controlled, scalable model that improved quality while reducing operational dependency.

Solution

Altimetrik executed a staggered product migration and structured ramp-up to reduce transition risk. Detailed Standard Operating Procedures standardized reconciliation activities, while governance, quality controls, and operational oversight improved accountability.

Dedicated initiatives cleared historical backlogs and removed aged breaks from the database. Automation streamlined data sourcing and record matching, reducing manual intervention across repeatable activities. This phased transformation maintained continuity across daily reconciliation while giving finance teams a consistent operating model for managing exceptions.

Altimetrik also proposed an agentic AI-led approach for break identification and resolution. Intelligent agents could analyze exceptions, identify potential causes, and support faster resolution with appropriate human oversight.
