8.2.3 Flexible Reporting Buckets

Because the assumptions are separate from the data, and because the model is operating on an account level of detail, you can specify assumptions and reporting time buckets in any increment desired. Since each transaction's cash flows are being solved independently, you can mix and match any combination of time buckets (up to 240). Changing the bucket structure will not impact the calculations. Thus, you might model, and report results on a daily and weekly basis for liquidity analysis while employing a monthly five-year forecast for ALM Management. In either case, the results produced are consistent.
