Treasury Middle Office External Risk Audit Report Sample Format & Template
When it comes to Treasury Middle Office, Financial Middle Office or Banking Middle Office review, the regulatory requirement is an annual external review and independent audit of the Middle Office function to ensure that any identified gaps are clearly highlighted and rectified. Given the role the Middle Office function plays in being the gate keeper to risk and at times regulatory reporting, this audit is essential for ensuring that no compromises have occurred in the reporting line or hierarchy for the middle office functions, that middle office valuation, pricing and reporting model are correct and accurately calibrated, the reporting and control process worked well and is generating middle office reports within the allocated time frame. While an internal audit can review the same factors, the external audit brings in additional objectivity to the exercise.
