Overview. Recompute the entitlement from event dates and holdings, and propose an approved correction.

After a cash dividend, the fund's books and the custodian disagree on the amount received. The fund sold part of its holding on the ex-date, and the accounting system applied the sale before computing the entitlement.

The agent has to work out who is entitled from the event dates, recompute the dividend and propose a supported adjustment for approval.

Value to the buyer

Corporate-action errors are a frequent source of NAV errors. Trains date-driven entitlement reasoning.

Sample prompt. What the agent is asked to do, as a buyer would see it.

prompt · task-fin-105-02Example
A fund's accounting system shows a different dividend from the custodian's report following a corporate action. Merrow Foods paid a regular cash dividend of $0.85 per share. The fund held 100,000 shares and sold 20,000 on the ex-date. The books accrued $68,000; the custodian credited $85,000. Investigate the difference using the corporate-action notice and position history, determine the cause, propose the appropriate adjustment, and update the reconciliation record without introducing unsupported changes.

Verification criteria. What the verifier checks, and how.

  • Dates

    Under US T+1, the ex-date is the record date. The seller on the ex-date keeps the dividend.

  • Entitlement

    100,000 shares × $0.85 = $85,000. The custodian is right.

  • Cause

    The system applied the ex-date sale before computing the entitlement.

  • Adjustment

    A $17,000 increase to the dividend receivable, proposed for approval.

  • Record

    The reconciliation record cites the notice and position history.

Key failure modes. Where agents go wrong on this task.

  • Accepting the books because the sale happened before the payment
  • Writing the difference off as a custodian error
  • Posting the adjustment directly
