T1: Stewarding Financial Data: Five Ingredients for Governance Success 
Robert S. Seiner, President / Publisher, KIK Consulting / TDAN.com
There are a handful of ingredients necessary to deliver effective stewardship of financial data.

It is valuable to learn from others which ingredients can be tuned and how to tune them to match your requirements.

Bob will compare and contrast several finance and non-finance focused programs highlighting the core similarities and differences in stewardship – while sharing tips and techniques for addressing those items that are finance-focused.

T3: Managing Core Reference Data in Finance  
Malcolm Chisholm, Chief Innovator Officer, First San Francisco Partners
Core Reference Data is often known as "code tables" and is a critical part of reference data in finance.  Unfortunately, the structural simplicity and low volume of Core Reference Data often causes it to be overlooked.  Yet more than 50% of the business semantics of a financial subject area can be expressed in Core Reference Data, and defects in it, or misunderstanding of its usage, can lead to widespread problems.  This tutorial describes the characteristics of Core Reference Data and outlines the specific governance needs that it has - which are quite different to other classes of Reference Data.  Special attention is given to practical techniques for managing Core Reference Data, including issues in global projects, and the need for a federated approach.  Recent interest in vendors is also surveyed.

Attendees will learn:

  • What is Core Reference Data, and what sets it apart from other types of Reference Data
  • The specific characteristics of Core Reference Data, and their bearing on Data Management
  • Governance approaches to Core Reference Data, including both the Operational and IT perspectives.
  • Practical techniques for managing Core Reference Data
  • Future directions for Core Reference Data

A Practical Approach to Getting Quality Data
Anju Jain, Product Manager, ROKITT ASTRA
Data Quality is a recognized issue across organizations. It is as much a business issue as it is an IT problem. Resolving data quality must be approach in a structured and methodical manner. Characteristics of a good quality data must be defined by the firm. The qualities may differ from organization to organizations. The characteristics typically include accuracy, consistency, completeness, timeliness, trustworthiness, relevance, accessibility and coherence to name a few. The scope and goal of a data quality initiative is important. It’s not about choosing the right IT tools and their implementations. It’s about having the right focus from senior management, business willingness to support the program, and having the infrastructure (includes people and processes) to support the initiative. This presentation will focus on how to get to quality data within your organization using practical and implementable means.

T4: Building a Comprehensive Financial Data Governance Framework
Steven Zagoudis, CEO, MetaGovernance Solutions LLC
Data Governance becomes a competitive game changer when the focus is top-down, business-driven, technology-enabled, and integrated tightly into the value chain of a financial institution.  This tutorial explores the key components of an effective Data Governance framework within the financial vertical from an overarching, business-driven model that moves governance from back-office risk reduction to operational revenue generation strategies and management execution.  Data Governance must be seen as an efficiency and risk-reducing effort, not just as an incremental regulatory or compliance burden.   Based on successful integration of Data Governance across the financial industry, this tutorial explores the needed organizational structure, roles and responsibilities, business processes, metadata components, technical and business controls, and needed security and retention integration.  Emphasis is placed on tracking subject areas of data need for expanding market share, as well as the governance framework to associate data with incidents, processes, projects, and compliance matters.

During this tutorial you will learn:

  • How to associate information and data with key business drivers, projects and initiatives for both revenue-generating, compliance, or issue resolution efforts.
  • A Data Governance classification system (metadata) for finance and banking.
  • A framework to resolve the mystery over the source and use of data and information across the organization.
  • The Data Governance Architecture in the financial vertical.
  • The roles the business and technology need to play for sustainable Data Governance.
  • Data Governance reporting – what it is and how can it be accomplished?
