‘One of the biggest advantages of having a full ALM solution is that it’s underpinned by a single source of data. With this new regulatory reporting functionality, any data brought into the system populates the returns automatically, eliminating the need for any manual input.’

Robin Collett – Financial Controller

‘ALMIS^® Hedge Accounting is a strong easy to use module with a lot of flexibility and functionality especially on the interest rate risk side. We also complete our regulatory reporting and COREP on ALMIS^® and plan to use it for our Bank of England returns. And since moving to the ALMIS Cloud hosting platform we’ve enjoyed many benefits. It’s quick and reliable and all the software updates are actioned quickly by ALMIS International.’

Lorraine Shalley – Financial Risk and Regulatory Reporting Manager

‘ALMIS International have bent over backwards to help us and to guide our IT people through the installations. We’re always treated as a priority and not left to fix things ourselves. The company is more than just a software provider, they’re very much a partner.’

John Free – Regulatory Accountant

‘Since we implemented the ALMIS® Hedge Accounting module in 2015 the software has served us well. Because ALMIS have deep knowledge of what to expect from the audit process, the granular nature of data outputs has made review, reconciliation and reporting much easier.’
