What is Atoti Sign-Off?

Atoti Sign-Off is an optional add-on for Atoti applications. It provides a structured workflow for data validation, adjustment, and approval. This page is intended for users familiar with Atoti applications and end-of-day data management processes. Atoti Sign-Off is designed for financial institutions that need a governed, auditable process for reviewing and approving data before it is used for reporting or further analysis.

Why use Atoti Sign-Off?

End-of-day approval processes typically require teams to move between multiple systems to locate, investigate, and sign off data. This is time-consuming and increases the risk of errors. Atoti Sign-Off consolidates the entire process into a single environment, reducing the time required and supporting compliance with data governance standards including BCBS 239. Key benefits include:
  • A single environment for investigation, adjustment, and approval, eliminating the need to switch between systems.
  • Real-time drill-down to granular data during the review process.
  • A configurable workflow that maps to existing organizational hierarchies and approval structures.
  • A full audit trail covering all adjustments, approvals, and rejections.
  • Support for data archiving and comparison of signed-off data against historical and live data sets.
  • The ability to correct errors on the fly without disrupting the approval process.

Who is Atoti Sign-Off for?

Atoti Sign-Off is used by teams involved in end-of-day data validation and approval. Typical users include:
  • Risk managers.
  • Trading desk heads.
  • Operations and control teams.
  • Compliance and audit teams.
Common use cases include:
  • End-of-day P&L validation and sign-off.
  • Review and approval of risk metrics including VaR, Expected Shortfall, sensitivities, and capital charges.
  • Investigation and correction of data anomalies before approval.
  • Archiving approved data for historical analysis and audit purposes.

How does Atoti Sign-Off work?

Atoti Sign-Off is built on the Atoti Engine and operates within the same environment as the underlying analytical application. The sign-off process follows a structured sequence:
  • A user initiates a mandate, defining the scope, owners, approvers, and validity period.
  • Real-time data updates are frozen to establish a stable baseline for review.
  • Adjustments are made where necessary, with the option to pull data from previous dates or versions.
  • The mandate is submitted for approval. Approvers can review the data and adjustments, and may reject or roll back changes.
  • Once approved, data is exported and archived for historical and trend analysis.
  • Reports are available through configurable dashboards in Atoti UI.
All actions are recorded in an audit trail from the moment the mandate is initiated.

What is the relationship to other Atoti products?

Atoti Sign-Off is an add-on to an existing Atoti application. Atoti Sign-Off is commonly used with:
  • Atoti Limits, which manages real-time limit monitoring and breach investigation.
  • Atoti Scenario Analysis, which supports hypothetical and stress testing analysis.
Atoti Limits and Atoti Sign-Off are often deployed together. This combination supports both intraday limit monitoring and end-of-day control processes.
