Fast, automated financial spreading – combining artificial intelligence and the human touch

Our new spreading tool harnesses the power of machine learning, combined with a human expert to check the output, for super-fast and accurate financial spreads.

Simply upload the financial data in pdf format and get the output delivered seamlessly either in your own ‘private Orbis zone’ or your Catalyst portfolio.

The company’s financials are spread into the standard Orbis financial format, so you can:

• compare the company to all the others in your portfolio - and the Orbis database
• get all the financial strength scores and metrics for your company
• include the company in your risk assessments, scorecards and dashboards

This tool is powered by the award-winning QUIQspread™ from Moody’s Analytics. The tool works with Orbis, Credit Catalyst and Procurement Catalyst. It’s ideal if you have financials for a company in more detail than are available in Orbis, or a more recent version has been sent to you directly.

How effective is your sanctions screening?

Identifying companies that are sanctioned is one challenge. But how do you identify companies who are sanctioned because they are remotely linked to sanctioned companies or individuals?

We call these companies "sanctioned by extension". They’re not on any sanctions list, but you could still be fined for trading with them. It’s a big challenge. So how do you identify them, how do you continue to monitor the situation, and how do you avoid breaching regulations?
