The SAP implementation, delivery and methodology approach for the SAP BA/ IA Analyser techniques to achieve the IFRS Regulatory reporting using SA(FSPL) with HANA

SAP techniques applicable at a basic level on sap package / component solution customization –I call this Vision of Finance Transformation From daily routine to supporting growth and new business models

 Not applicable for the  SAP upgrade but to the new/ greenfield implements new SAP Bank analyser, or insurance analyser - on HANA, (FSPL).  The three keys to be successful -IFRS 9 and IFRS 17 implementation. How the SAP Activate approach (HANA with Solution Manager) Delivery approach can help in Close alignment of all project streams. See Diagrem below.. 

 There are many Opportunities for alignment between both (IFRS9 and IFRs17) implementations can be identified in the early project phases starting from the FIT Gap analyses, the Analyse and classify instrument and contracts affected by both standards to Full end to end testing. Pease contact me for any consultation requirement, or formal engagement to provide lesson learned...  

·     How to Address organizational responsibilities aligning actuaries, risk, finance, ALM and accounting etc (Worksop, Q&A, Show and tell session etc)

·         How to Identify shared risk and actuarial data and Conduct parallel analyse (SDL, DDL) and RDL, testing and pilot phases for increased efficiency (POC of FSPL business contents using KDV, and other valuation run)

2) Harmonized data collection inside the FSPL (SDL using reuse of Business partner)

Designing a harmonized data management strategy an efficient and reliable outputs, which can be achieved for the harmonization of IFRS 9 and IFRS 17 requirements (single version of truth)        

A profitable ALM strategy to implement using agile integrated transformation approach is our proved methodology in an integrated transformation approach for IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 provides multiple benefits and allows raising synergies (expert consultancy around):

·         Early identification and mitigation of dependency risks (business model review – e.g. FVOC- SPL)

·         Quick responsibility clarification (actuarial, risk, accounting department) of the existing risk models

·         Consistent accounting principle interpretations against the business model

·         Avoidance of Accounting mismatches

·         Easier Golden Source identification and data harmonization

·         Consistent auditor approvals

2) Harmonized data collection inside the FSPL (SDL using reuse of Business partner)

AS IS - disintegrate, too many small systems , no harmonisation of data... too risky to manage change,, 

TO BE 

SAPs IFRS17 Subledger, Data Management and Finance and Risk Calculation Engines. the S4HANA FSPL -Clint can choose a single-instance installation (one software stack) or a dual instance installation (two software stacks) as illustrated below. In a single-instance deployment, you deploy the back-end and front-end together, whereas in a dual instance installation, you deploy them separately.

 The IT architecture and infrastructure harmonization for valuations and CSM calculations using SAP HANA, BW/BI – and FPSL add on and Joint source for market and valuation data, such as interest rates and risk assessments on the FSPL// 

What the shift to Virtual environment could mean for the Future of job and employment.

“Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills its students." Hector Berlioz. New Beginning, New era, new times – Covid19 has proved the feasibility, and in some occasion more productive being working virtually, not only the Carbon footprint reduction but also a cost effective measure to most of the industry sectors where unlikeliest case studies were imposed by the old school.  Either be executive board, diplomat conferences, the amount of economical activities being conducted online has experienced explosive growth, either be this week’s WHO meeting or the head of states conducting diplomat levels briefing. Isn’t this a paradigm shift to meet Co2 fossil fuel reduction?  Anyway, Question is what the future of job and employment more is and more industry business sectors or secondary platforms adopting IT led automation like Manychat, ChattyPeople, Bot.Robotics to streamline process as well cost reduction, where the rest of manpower will be deployed. Same question was raised early 90sh. During this Covid 19, considering that virtually most of the industry sphere has forced to transition to possible online service or to do business with digitalisation aspects, there's certainly no shortage of further potential for employment, but there's also plenty of so-called Blue Ocean and the side effect on the economical growths without right skill and education, we can also sense old school still not able to absorb this shift..Most of influential industry sectors like aerospace, automobile, there was nothing counteracts to the fossil fuel except wealth making. The IT led services such as online education, e-commerce, virtual project management or the large scale global business changes were possible but not enforced, given more off shoring models, IT services were in approx range of  20 -80% models, this has been proved possibility of be >+90% virtually. Thanks to the internet and smartphones and more digitalisation for the shift to the occupational probability. offcourthis also prove shift of wealth to east theory..

SAP Bank Analyzer Implementation Strategy -High Level Implementation / Overview (High level Process)

 SAP Bank Analyzer –

This article will explain best approach and Implementation approach for the SAP Bank Analyzer solutions, upgrade or integration. Recently I've had opportunity to work on two demo solutions for a banking system SAP Bank analyzer implementation within risk and profit analyses team and a short term test strategy development for rapid SAP bank analyzer implementation within an investment bank.

This article will explain best approach to implement SAP Bank Analyzer solution 8.0 or  upgrade from or integration. Recently we worked on two demo solutions for a banking risk system SAP Bank analyzer implementation within risk and profit analyses team and a short term test strategy development for rapid SAP bank analyzer implementation within an investment bank.


In next couple of blogs we will detail an effective way to test SAP Bank analyzer and its individual components.

 - SAP BA - Objectives in upgrade and in new Implementation Solution Architecture to  future looking business Architecture      
      

As IS Approach- There could be two scenarios either – Accounting IFRS implementation or risk architecture – see below diagram for both .. the Accounting IFRS implementation (accounting consequence, FSPL scenarios)



B) Risk architecture scenario



 
Transformation, and loading process (ETL process).  The SDL saves, consolidates, and manages the original data. At the same time it provides interfaces to additional operational systems.
The primary objects of the Source Data Layer (SDL) and their scenario versions are a flexible way of saving master data, flow data, and market data. They also group this data into units that belong together logically from a business perspective. This ensures that the Bank Analyzer components that are linked to the SDL have a standard, consistent data source.In addition to storing primary object data, the SDL provides the following primary objects functions for applications linked to it:
 See SDN for more detail

●     Access to source data
●     General functions for source data layer
●     Methods for source data
●     General access to corrections
●     Tools
 
Integration
The SDL provides both the central original data basis and a part of the underlying infrastructure for linked applications. It is therefore a key element in ensuring the consistency of data and results.
