FundApps + Aladdin by BlackRock
How FundApps and Aladdin by BlackRock create a complete, unbroken data flow that firms can trust.
The data behind your compliance process isn’t as reliable as you think
In most firms, the journey from order execution to compliance monitoring is fragmented. Data moves through CSV exports, custom-built integrations, and multiple systems, creating a chain of handoffs that can introduce risk at every step. By the time compliance checks are performed, they are often based on reconstructed data rather than the original execution.
This isn’t just inefficient: it’s a risk to your audit trail.
When data is copied, transformed, and reassembled across systems, errors can go unnoticed, manual errors can be made and data lineage gets difficult to trace. Audit trails lose their integrity, making it harder to respond confidently when regulators or internal auditors ask questions. In those moments, reconstruction isn’t enough - firms need a record they can rely on.
