Challenge

The ICFP Rewrite (Inter-Company Financing Portal) is an innovative, web-based solution designed to streamline and elevate the inter-company financing process with robust workflows that ensure governance, control, and transparency. Acting as the centralized entry point for all inter-company funding transactions, the portal empowers the Treasury Department by consolidating the management of all funding types under a single, efficient platform.

This next-generation portal is a cornerstone of the organization’s Recovery and Resolution Plan (RRP), reflecting its strategic importance in enhancing operational efficiency and compliance. By incorporating seamless approval mechanisms, advanced governance frameworks, and real-time transactional status reporting, the ICFP Rewrite transforms existing processes into a dynamic, future-ready solution.

Key project highlights include:

• End-to-End Workflow Integration: Developing, designing, and deploying the portal with sophisticated workflows and multi-layered access controls to ensure secure and efficient operations.
• Enhanced Operational Efficiency: Creating a user-friendly front-end interface to simplify and operationalize complex inter-company financing processes.
• Comprehensive Testing Framework: Addressing the inherent complexities of the application by conducting multiple rounds of testing to validate workflows for different roles and funding processes, ensuring a stable and reliable system.
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Navigating scheduling challenges by maintaining daily communication with business SMEs and stakeholders to align on project milestones, requirements, and deliverables.

The ICFP Rewrite represents a transformative leap forward, enabling the Treasury to achieve operational excellence, improve compliance, and meet the organization’s strategic financial goals with confidence.
