Report author and TABB senior analyst [Dayle Scher](http://www.tabbgroup.com/dayle-scher?_ga=1.130333068.2014077862.1448979032) explains that the capital markets industry suffers from a surfeit of internal reconciliations that result from the inadequate transfer and synchronization of replicated data from platform to platform. The resulting discrepancies can cause errors in trading, pre-trade compliance checks, client and regulatory reporting, analytics calculations and pricing of securities and funds. More than 50 percent of the 150 firms TABB Group surveyed experience trade errors caused by incorrect position or cash data across different systems, and two-thirds of the firms attributed this to poor reconciliation between systems. The report details how the inefficiencies of internal reconciliations have gone unresolved because in many cases they have not been acknowledged at a corporate level. Data reconciliations are often occurring across business siloes and each department addresses errors independently.  TABB suggests that one solution may be an internal, enterprise-wide private [blockchain](https://research.tabbgroup.com/report/v14-055-demystifying-blockchain) as an alternative to the traditional database structure, though various interdepartmental privacy and permissioning issues would need to be integrated. “A single immutable source of data, which could potentially be made possible through distributed ledger technology, vastly reduces the need for multiple internal reconciliations and the risk of trade or reporting errors,” says Scher. “The reduction in the total cost of ownership for the reconciliations process, personnel and systems will be dramatic if curtailed or completely eliminated with a private blockchain solution.” **The report can be downloaded by TABB’s financial technology clients and pre-qualified media at** [https://research.tabbgroup.com/search/grid](https://research.tabbgroup.com/search/grid).
