Reports Guide

This guide provides instructional narrative for interpreting system-generated DDM Program reports. It should be used in conjunction with the DDM Reports Matrix to facilitate daily reconciliation and operational oversight.

Purpose of this Guide

The DDM Program relies on automated, system-generated reporting to maintain the integrity of the deposit network. Because these reports are generated by the R&T platform and delivered automatically, this guide serves as the essential translation layer for Participating Institutions to understand the daily processes of the DDM Program.

The primary objectives of this document are:

• Interpretation: To move beyond "data viewing" and into "data understanding" by explaining the specific logic within key reports like the Daily Position Report.

• Operational Accuracy: To provide clear instructions on how report data should drive manual actions, such as wire initiations or exception clearing.

• Standardization: To ensure all groups use the same definitions when discussing program activity.

Sample Report Data

All report examples, screenshots, report outputs, file extracts, and data samples shown in this guide contain fictitious data created for documentation purposes.

No examples in this guide contain information from actual customers, institutions, accounts, transactions, or program participants.

Names, identifiers, balances, account numbers, institution names, dates, and transaction details are fictitious and are provided solely to demonstrate report structure and functionality.

Reporting Variations

Report layouts, terminology, field labels, calculations, and displayed data elements may change over time as reporting capabilities evolve.

The report examples included throughout this guide are intended to demonstrate report structure, report relationships, and report interpretation. Actual report output may vary based on implementation,
program configuration, reporting enhancements, and product evolution.

When differences exist between a sample report and a production report, refer to the field definitions and report descriptions provided within the applicable report section.

How to Use this Guide

To facilitate efficient navigation, this guide is organized into six functional workflows and a supporting reference matrix:

1. Settlement & Funding: Explains the reports used to determine net activity and provide authorization for daily wire transfers.

2. Transactions & Exceptions: Covers the granular details of the daily deposits/withdrawals and the reports triggered when the system identifies a data or assignment error.

3. Specialized & Periodic Reporting: Provides guidance on non-daily or complex files like the Compensation Workbook and quarterly Call Report information assistance.

4. Administrative & Action-Oriented Reports: Covers critical notifications like Rate and Program updates, plus proactive monitoring tools like the Accounts Approaching Insurance Coverage Limit report.

5. Technical Data Feeds: Details the raw data files (.csv) delivered via file transfer for automated system integration.

6. Reconciliation & Position: Focuses on the heartbeat of the program, specifically the Daily Position Report, to ensure the "Send" and "Receive" sides are in balance.

7. DDM Reports Matrix: Provides a consolidated inventory of available DDM reports, including report methods, and applicability by participation type to help identify the reports relevant to your institution.
