NEW YORK, June 24, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- AcordIQ, the leader in automated Waterfall administration software and services for private equity fund managers and administrators, has announced a new cloud-based Waterfall verification shadow service.
Waterfall calculations and associated fund administration tasks are one of the most important yet complex areas in private equity fund administration. Having an independent verification from a trusted source is a vital step for managers as they are all trying to keep pace through these extraordinary times with increased investor concern of their investments and regulatory scrutiny. Errors are quite common with the use of Excel and consequently often lead to operational risk, and even worse, reputation risk.
"With our ongoing commitment to innovation and helping our fund manager clients tackle the many complex tasks of fund administration and waterfall calculations, our new cloud-based Waterfall Administration Service provides a 'plug & play', independent and trusted verification of manager's profit allocation (carry), fees and expense disclosure to their investors for higher accuracy, assurance and compliance," said Patrick Brunner, Director of Product & Strategy.
AIQ's cloud-based platform solution is easy to integrate into your current workflow and will reduce your dependency on Excel and 'key-person' risks, aiding in audits and succession planning. Additionally, this will increase the transparency around carried interest, both from an internal allocation and investor perspective, providing clean, consistent record-keeping and higher-quality data processes. Furthermore, with our sophisticated carried interest models that handles all the nuances and complexities of waterfall arrangements, it allows you to optimize your carried interest, without over simplification that is often the case with Excel-based approaches, that can lead to the difference between a firm's partners receiving carry or perhaps not at all.
