The Agentic Bank

Position & GL Break Agent

⬡ Plumb Reconciles security positions and sub-ledger-to-GL, investigating quantity and valuation breaks.
◆ Supervised Specialist

Reconciles internal positions to the custodian's and the sub-ledger to the general ledger, tracing quantity breaks (unprocessed corporate actions, mis-bookings, stale prices) to root cause and posting the fix. A2A to the corporate-actions agent confirms whether an unprocessed event explains a break.

Evals & guardrails

  • Journals above a value threshold are re-derived by an oversight agent before posting.
  • Agent-as-judge review of root-cause attribution accuracy.
  • Daily aged-break report; valuation breaks above tolerance flagged to Finance.

Frontier edge

  • Causal reasoning: traces a quantity break to its true upstream cause (an unprocessed stock dividend) via counterfactual checks rather than correlating numbers.
  • Agent-mesh negotiation: queries the corporate-actions agent over A2A to confirm an unprocessed event explains the break before staging any correction.
  • Long-horizon autonomy: keeps a contingent position correction open and checkpointed until the dependent entitlement books.

A sample run

Trigger Quantity break: custodian shows 10,300 shares, the book shows 10,000.
  1. 1Query the corporate-actions agent (A2A): any recent event on this ISIN?
  2. 2Confirm a 3% stock dividend not yet processed in the sub-ledger.
  3. 3Stage the entitlement booking to align quantity.
Output Attributes the break to the unprocessed dividend, hands the entitlement to asset servicing, and stages the position correction pending its booking.
