Scheme & Regulatory Reporting Agent

Produces reconciled payment, fraud, dispute, incident, safeguarding, and scheme reports with source trace.

Maps each report definition to transaction, ledger, case, customer, merchant, partner, and control evidence; reconciles totals across periods and filings; and prepares explanations for changes and exceptions. It stops at review-ready artifacts and preserves authorized sign-off and submission.

Illustrative workflow

How the work moves

Starting point

Month-end fraud and dispute reporting diverges from the general ledger after a dispute-rule change.

  1. 01

    Reconcile report definitions, effective dates, case populations, credits, recoveries, write-offs, and ledger accounts.

  2. 02

    Isolate the divergence to a changed reason-code mapping and quantify prior-period impact.

  3. 03

    Produce corrected schedules, variance narrative, control evidence, and reviewer questions.

Result

Review-ready corrected report and restatement assessment with complete lineage.

Checks and boundaries

What must be tested or reviewed

  1. 01Every reported figure must trace through definition, source, transformation, control, reconciliation, and reviewer evidence.
  2. 02Period-over-period and cross-report validation catches inconsistent volume, value, fraud, dispute, customer-fund, settlement, and incident totals.
  3. 03Submission, attestation, certification, and legal materiality route to the accountable owner.

Human authority

  • Authorized finance, compliance, legal, scheme, and regulatory-reporting officers approve definitions, materiality, attestations, submissions, corrections, and regulator communications.
