- Tools and access
- Reads fund accounting, the order and trade log, prices, and corporate actions; runs the approved rule table; read-only; writes only the exceptions file.
- May not
- Place, change, or cancel an order, change the rule table, approve a prospectus change, publish on KAP, contact SPK, the custodian, or an investor, suggest what to buy or sell, or grant itself any access.
- Who decides and the written limit
- Internal control officerThe internal control officer approves every rule-table change before it applies and decides what each breach needs: a request to the portfolio manager, a report as your procedure writes, or, where restoring in time is impossible, a request to SPK for more time. Any trade is the portfolio manager's, inside the fund's rules. The system never places or suggests a trade, never changes the approved rule table, never publishes on KAP, and never contacts SPK, the custodian, or an investor.
- Stops when
- An active breach, a passive breach near the end of its window, a limit the rule table cannot compute, a position without a price, or a prospectus change with no matching rule: the file goes to internal control, marked.
- Record
- The positions and prices used, the rule-table version, each result, the trades attached, and who approved, asked for, or reported what; kept as your procedure writes.
