Team/Role Overview
Account Reference Architecture (ARA) is a Completeness Control framework for all SMB Balance Sheet and Enterprise Bank Cash accounts globally. The platform and team maintain a control for end‑to‑end completeness and integrity between Citi ledger accounts, their respective cash bank accounts, and reconciliations. ARA is part of the Global Reconciliations Utility (GRU) organization, ensuring ledger accounts are mapped to bank accounts, all Citi‑owned cash bank accounts are reported on the balance sheet, and discrepancies are remediated through the ARA Balance Validation process.
