Citadel ASP for Trade Receivables Transactions

Citadel ASP has the functionality to monitor and report on the substantial volumes of trade receivables information required to facilitate successful securitisation transactions. The web-based platform offers the ability to track individual invoices across multiple sales ledgers, facilitating client reporting to rating agency standard, with minimal disruption to local operating companies.

The Citadel ASP solution supports the consolidation of trade receivables data from multiple operating companies into a single database, applying highly automated tools and workflow processes to consolidate, monitor and report on the data. What differentiates Citadel ASP from other market solutions, is the level of control, flexibility and visibility it offers clients, through its comprehensive drill-down capability.

Across multiple jurisdictions, invoices are consolidated from all securitisation programme participants from a multitude of operating systems. Citadel ASP consolidates this data, facilitating the rating agency standard reporting required for each individual securitisation transaction. Built-in reporting functionality generates customised bank reports, head office reports, operating company reports and back-up servicer reports.
