Workflow 04 — Decision Governance

Asset & liability / treasury.

Governed ALM and treasury decisions — limits, breaches, hedges, and liquidity events — with rationale tied to policy and outcome.

ALCO stops relitigating last quarter's rate call, because the rationale is already on the record.

What goes wrong without it

Limit breaches under-documented

When IRR or liquidity limits move outside policy, the rationale and approval can be hard to find later.

Hedge intent unclear

The reason a hedge was put on often lives in one person's head, not on the record.

ALCO actions drift

Committee decisions get made in the meeting but execution and follow-up aren't always tracked.

The shared decision anatomy

Every workflow follows the same five steps. Here’s how asset & liability / treasury uses them, with the artifact captured at each step.

01 Signal
Limit breach, policy exception, hedge proposal, or liquidity event requiring a position. NII sensitivity moves outside +/-15% under +200bp shock.
→ ALM event record
02 Owner
Treasurer or ALCO, by authority and materiality. ALCO charter drives routing for material decisions.
→ Owner + ALCO
03 Decision
Position taken with rationale tied to policy, scenario analysis, and risk appetite.
→ ALCO decision memo
04 Action
Hedges executed, limits adjusted, liquidity plan invoked. Execution evidence captured.
→ Execution record
05 Outcome
Position outcomes tied to original rationale. Backtesting against assumptions is part of the record.
→ Outcome record

Built for the Treasurer / CFO

Replaces the ALCO packet, hedge memo file, and limit-monitoring spreadsheet maintained outside the committee record. Gives the treasurer one ALM record with policy, rationale, and outcome connected.

Apex linkage

Strategic & Board Decisions inherit operational evidence from this workflow. Decisions made here flow upward to the apex layer automatically — a board-level capital, risk-appetite, or strategic-plan decision ties back to the operational record beneath it.
