An intelligent, AI-powered system for reconciling dividend data between NBIM internal booking systems and global custodian records, built for the NBIM Technology and Operations Pre-case Assessment.
This system transforms manual dividend reconciliation processes using Large Language Models (LLMs) and intelligent agents. Built to handle ~8,000 dividend events annually across 9,000+ equity holdings, it automates break detection, classification, and remediation workflows.
"NBIM processes thousands of dividend events requiring daily reconciliation between internal booking systems and global custodian data. Manual processes are time-consuming and error-prone. How can LLMs transform this workflow from break detection to automated remediation?"
- Mappings Agent: Intelligent header mapping between different data formats
- Breaks Identifier Agent: LLM-driven discrepancy detection with composite key matching
- Breaks Resolution Agent: AI-generated fix suggestions with confidence scoring
- JIRA Issue Agent: Automated ticket creation for manual review items
- Dynamic Break Classification: LLM determines categories without hardcoded rules
- Intelligent Prioritization: Severity assessment based on business impact
- Automated Remediation: Direct fix application for high-confidence corrections
- Seamless Integration: JIRA ticket creation for items requiring manual investigation
- Modular Design: Independent, reusable agents
- UI Abstraction: Streamlit integration layer separate from business logic
- Error Resilience: Comprehensive error handling and graceful degradation
- Configuration Management: User-customizable settings and workflows

- Dynamic Classification: LLM determines break categories without hardcoded rules
- Contextual Analysis: Rich prompts with business context and historical patterns
- Confidence Scoring: Self-assessment of fix reliability
- Composite Key Matching: Advanced record linking using multiple identifiers
- Primary: OpenAI GPT-4 for complex reasoning
- Fallback: GPT-3.5-turbo for cost optimization
- Temperature: 0.1 for consistent financial analysis
- Response Format: Structured JSON for reliable parsing
The system handles 3 dividend events with varying complexity:
| Event Key | Complexity | Test Scenario |
|---|---|---|
| Event 1 | Simple | Standard dividend processing |
| Event 2 | Medium | Missing records, value discrepancies |
| Event 3 | Complex | Multiple breaks, tax calculation issues |
- LLM determines categories based on data context
- No hardcoded business rules
- Adaptable to new break types
- Multi-field record matching (coac_event_key + ISIN + SEDOL + account)
- Robust handling of data format variations
- Unique break identification
- High-confidence fixes applied automatically
- Low-confidence items routed for manual review
- Transparent decision-making process
- AI-generated ticket descriptions
- Priority mapping from break severity
- Rich context for investigation teams
- ✅ Human Oversight: All fixes require explicit approval
- ✅ Audit Trail: Complete logging of all decisions and changes
- ✅ Confidence Thresholds: Conservative automation boundaries
- ✅ Rollback Capability: Original data preservation
- ✅ Validation Layers: Multiple verification steps
- Data Validation: Schema checking and format verification
- API Rate Limiting: Cost control and stability
- Error Boundaries: Graceful failure handling
- Security: No sensitive data in prompts or logs
| Capability | Description |
