What is meant by Reconciliation?
Automated comparison of the firm's records against someone else's — a custodian, a prime broker, an administrator — to find positions, cash balances and transactions that disagree, and to route each break to whoever can resolve it.
Who uses Reconciliation?
Operations, daily, usually first thing.
What gets confused with Reconciliation?
Data management, which is about the quality and lineage of data generally. Reconciliation is specifically about two parties' records of the same thing disagreeing.
What should you ask a vendor about Reconciliation?
Ask what proportion of breaks the system closes without a person, on data like yours. Match rates quoted without a data description mean nothing.
