Process corporate actions and income accruals
What You Do Today
Apply dividends, stock splits, mergers, tender offers, and other corporate actions to fund positions. Accrue income from bonds, loans, and other instruments with complex pay structures.
AI That Applies
AI identifies and processes standard corporate actions automatically from custodian feeds, calculates complex income accruals, and flags unusual corporate actions for manual review.
Technologies
How It Works
The system ingests standard corporate actions automatically from custodian feeds as its primary data source. The processing layer applies the appropriate analytical models to the structured data, generating scored outputs that surface the most actionable insights. The results integrate into the practitioner's existing workflow — presenting recommendations, flags, or automated outputs alongside their normal working context.
What Changes
Standard corporate actions process automatically. Complex income accruals calculate without manual intervention.
What Stays
Processing complex or unusual corporate actions — contested mergers, odd lot tenders, restructurings — requires accounting expertise and attention to detail.
What To Do Next
This section won't tell you what your numbers should be. It will show you how to find them yourself. Every instruction below produces a real, verifiable result in your organization. No benchmarks, no projections — just the steps to build your own evidence.
Establish Your Baseline
Know where you are before you move
Before adopting AI tools for process corporate actions and income accruals, understand your current state.
Without a baseline, you can't measure whether AI actually improved anything. You'll adopt tools without knowing if they're working.
Define Your Measures
What to track and how to calculate it
Time per cycle
How to calculate
Measure how long process corporate actions and income accruals takes end-to-end today, then after AI adoption.
Why it matters
The most visible improvement is speed. If AI doesn't save time, question whether it's adding value.
Quality of output
How to calculate
Track error rates, rework frequency, or stakeholder satisfaction scores before and after.
Why it matters
Speed without quality is just faster mistakes. Measure both.
