Payment Request
Description
It is a person or an organization that has a business interest with
UN. A BP can be a commercial vendor that supplies goods or
services to UN and also a UN agency or staff member. The
vendors registered in UNGM are replicated in Umoja (Umoja SRM
and ECC) as BP’s. BP’s can also be UN organizations, UN Staff
Members and other parties.
It is a software interface that allows a legally binding financial
transaction to be performed on terminals or through a desktop
software. System communication is performed via closed
networks or secure Internet connections.
It is a payment message created by the Umoja Treasury
component after confirmation and settlement of the trade.
Payment requests are cleared by Umoja, which results in a posting
in the General Ledger (G/L) bank accounts and, where applicable,
issuance of Payment Media (EFT, SWIFT and so on).

The investments are made according to the CPPI guidelines.
The objectives of the investment pools in decreasing priority are as follows:

The Umoja solution is designed to reinforce compliance of International Public Sector
Accounting Standards (IPSAS). Compliance in UN investment accounting is achieved
through the following parameters:
Fair Value through Surplus or Deficit
Adherence to Trade Date over Settlement Date
Copyright © United Nations
14
Contributing Factors to Investment Decisions
The determination of appropriate investments by Front Office is based on the following
factors:
Interest Rates
Duration
Terms
Risks
Counterparty
limits
UNHQ Treasury invests in the following types of financial instruments:
• Time Deposits
• Money Market Funds
• Fixed/Variable Income Bonds (US Treasuries, Bonds, Notes and Bills)
The settlement process followed depends on the type of financial instrument being
traded.

15
Processing Investments in Umoja
Investment Officers run the trades using Bloomberg Aim. Ultimately, trade details will be
interfaced from Bloomberg to Umoja. However, this interface is not being implemented for
Cluster 1. Until the interface is in place, the trades will have to be manually entered into
Umoja.
After a trade is recorded in Umoja, the Investment Back Office will go through the trade
settlement process, which includes confirming trade details with the counterparty, creating
SWIFT confirmation/payment instructions and posting the trade.
If the trade involves a new financial instrument, then the following steps need to be
completed before the trade can be recorded in Umoja:
1. If the instrument is from a new issuer, then the issuer has to be set up in BP as an
issuer by the Master Data team
2. After the BP is created, then the Security Master details have to be set up in Umoja by
the Investment Back Office

Modify or Reverse a Transaction
Modifications/reversals of trade should be initiated by the person/group that recorded
the trade. It is possible to modify a trade even after security flows have been posted so
the need to reverse a trade should be very rare. After a transaction is modified or
reversed, the accompanying flows must be reversed before re-posting the flows again.
Investment Operations will be responsible for reversing the appropriate flows,
depending on what stage the transaction is in.
Example: If the trades do not match, Investment Operations will inform Front Office
who will take the required action by modifying or reversing the trade.

Review FX Exposure
Review FX Exposure
and Requirement
Perform Required
FX Transactions
Confirm and
Settle Transactions
The process begins with the review of FX requirements of missions and OAHs and any FX exposures to
determine which currencies need to be purchased or sold.
As Umoja will allow for aggregation of FX requirements, it will lead to better forecasting of FX
requirements and significant savings in transaction costs.
Note: The investment portfolio will be marked-to-market twice a year (June and December).
This will be done at the portfolio level (UNHQ Treasury), with allocations to portfolio
participants.

Once the FX transaction requirements have been determined, the Investment Officer may perform the
FX trade in the spot or forward market, depending on the requirement.
Both spot and forward FX transactions are performed in FXAll, the FX trading platform used by UNHQ
Treasury. Once the FX trade is performed, the trade details are re-entered in Umoja for settlement and
accounting purposes.

After the transaction has been entered in Umoja by the trader, the Settlement Officer must perform the
following steps to complete the trade:
1. Process the transaction and calculate the required cash flows
2. Confirm the trade with counterparty. If there are discrepancy then send the trade back to the
investment officer
3. Review the standard settlement instruction for the counterparty and generate SWIFT message for
payment to the counterparty

Process Net Revenue Allocation to Investment Fund Participants
FMADB_post is used to distribute income and expenses to the investment pool
participants. The distribution can be run daily. However, initially it will be run once a
month but run thirty times to capture daily balances.
As with all Umoja processes, ADB can be run in test mode prior to posting the
distribution. If any revenue or expense posting document is reversed then ADB_POST
should be re-run for that date to account for the change.
Instead of accruing interest daily and capitalizing every six months, interest will be
distributed on a daily basis based on the daily balance.
Let’s walk through this process in Umoja.

Investment Portfolio Reconciliations
The asset reconciliation process will be automated in Umoja. MT-535 from the
custodian would be uploaded into Umoja to compare the asset position in Umoja to that
recognized by the custodian. After the comparison is run, a status e-mail will be sent to
the Back Office staff nightly. If there are any failures, action must be taken immediately.
Similarly, when Bloomberg to Umoja interface is in place, positions in the two systems
will also be reconciled.
