Summary

Context

Weekly sync discussing forecast v2 migration and variance analysis enhancements.

Key Discussion Points

  • New forecasts v2 now live - expect higher accuracy in coming weeks
  • Currency planning dashboard now visible
  • UniCredit account integration via Workday ERP (daily at 8:30am)
  • Other banks (HSBC, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, BlackRock) handled manually

Pain Points

  • Inconsistency with opening/closing balances not rolling over
  • Manual process limitations: Tom splits budget numbers across payment runs (Tuesdays/Thursdays)
  • Using historical trends and assumptions for currency/account allocation
  • Results in holding excess buffer balances (millions held unnecessarily in operations vs investments)

Feature Requests & Needs

  • Variance Analysis Enhancement: Budget numbers from FP&A team (Adaptive system)
  • Category-level manual override capability
  • Enable forecast vs forecast comparison (bottom-up vs top-down)

Domain Insights

  • Monthly data process: Tom to send data on day 10 of each month for all non-integrated banks
  • Single worksheet with all bank information preferred over separate sheets per bank

Action Items

  • Tom: Review new forecast accuracy over coming days
  • Tom: Update notes sheet with urgency ratings for feature requests
  • Giannis: Check with team on budget integration feasibility
  • Giannis: Explore mock account solution for manual forecasting
