Overview of Enterprise Data Office Organization:
Accelerating progress on our data transformation is an imperative for Citi, and over the last several months, we have analyzed what we need to do to make this happen. We are convinced that consistently producing timely, accurate and complete data that we can confidently rely on to run our business is a team sport - one that requires groups to work together toward shared goals.
Given heightened expectations from regulators and a goal to build a strong and consistent global control environment, Citi continues to enhance its business governance framework and has created the Enterprise Data group. Enterprise Data is a critical component of Citi's first line of defense for wholesale and counterparty credit risk management and works with Independent Risk teams to ensure best-in-class risk and controls, as well as client responsiveness. Key responsibilities of the group include credit analysis, documentation, risk identification, exposure monitoring and stress testing. Enterprise Data coordinates with credit management groups across institutional client businesses to ensure full alignment on business and regulatory goals, as well as consistency and best practices.
The goal of our data transformation is clear: to ensure we can generate accurate and complete information in a timely manner, and use that data to inform our business-as-usual operations and our risk analyses, whether for real-world needs or as part of our scenario planning and regulatory reporting. While that sounds straightforward, it's a meaningful undertaking to move away from siloed and complex processes, legacy systems, and activity-based metrics that have held us back in the past.
