Automated Bank Reconciliation Platform
The client required automation of their bank reconciliation process, which involved reading Ledger Statements, Bank Statements, and Previous Month Reconciliation Excel files from Azure Data Lake. A matching criteria logic was established using Azure Databricks, with processed data presented on PowerApps through Dataverse — drastically reducing bank reconciliation time from 15 days to mere hours.
Identifying the unique obstacles that hinder progress and uncovering the root causes behind complex business problems.
The existing bank reconciliation process was entirely manual, consuming up to 15 days each cycle and creating significant bottlenecks in financial operations.
Reading and matching data across Ledger Statements, Bank Statements, and Previous Month Reconciliation files required complex logic that was prone to human error at scale.
The absence of a standardised matching criteria framework meant reconciliation outcomes were inconsistent and difficult to audit across different periods.
Limited security controls around sensitive financial data in the reconciliation process created compliance and data governance risks for the organisation.
Manual processes made onboarding of new transaction types or bank formats slow and resource-intensive, limiting operational agility.
