Digitised platforms drive process automation and provide users with convenient access to information whenever needed. They can capture carry plan rules such as allocation and reallocation of carry, vesting, partner termination rules, valuation changes, and payout information in a transactional database, rather than offline through disconnected spreadsheets. A digital platform can work for your firm and the unique set up you have created, so that you can truly drive the system to ensure that all the detail previously stored in complex spreadsheets is captured and is readily accessible online. Not only does a system reduce the propensity for error, but it also provides a vital audit trail which, after years of movements and transactions, is virtually impossible without systematic management of the data.
