CTP Whitepaper Series: #6 Reference Data

In our last whitepaper, we outlined a simple framework to capture the interconnected, generic issues affecting “data quality” in order to maximise the efficiency of a CTP. Gathering records from July 2017 to October 2023, FINBOURNE has compiled a database with all historical FIRDS information – some 107,632,766 security records.

Using this data, this paper will take a deeper dive into the issues around reference data for all asset classes, as well as practices to ensure a ‘golden source’ to complement any work on transaction data.
