Automating Trustee Reporting for a Nordic Issuer Program.

Cutting reporting turnaround from weeks to days without sacrificing auditability.

A Nordic frequent issuer with an active secured bond programme replaced its manual trustee reporting workflow with a controlled pipeline sourced from treasury and accounting systems of record.

Quarterly compliance certificate turnaround dropped from 18 working days to 4, with every figure traceable back to a source-system snapshot retained for the life of the bonds.

Auditors retained full reliance on the new workflow after a single-cycle walkthrough, and noteholder Q&A volume on reporting items dropped by roughly half in the following quarter.
