•  Accounting services
JPMorgan created specialised teams to provide a range of value-added accounting services, including unit pricing, statutory and financial reporting and taxation services.

All JPMorgan clients are served by a multicurrency accounting system that offers trade date-based and fully accrued accounting and reporting in accordance with GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles). The system classifies earnings information into income, realised gains/losses and unrealised gains/losses. This information can also be further segregated into categories such as gains/losses resulting from market movements, currency movements and foreign exchange operations, by currency and by instrument. Valuation and transactional reports are generated for clients in the clients' currency and in the local currency of the investments, showing both cost and market values in the dual currencies.

All JPMorgan's accounting reports are provided online via its secured information delivery platform, JPMorgan ACCESS. Furthermore, the firm offers clients customised reports that show portfolio valuations and transactional reports in currencies different to that portfolio's base currency. This is essential for clients who have reporting requirements to off-shore parent companies and clients.

•  Investment Analytics
JPMorgan's performance analytics strictly complies with the requirements of the Australian Investment Performance Standards (AIPS) as well as the recommendations of the U.S.-based CFA Institute standards, and the firm also complies with the Australian version of GIPS (Global Investment Performance Standards).

JPMorgan professionals use their experience to thoroughly assess each client's needs and develop individualised solutions. Through a unique and proven approach based on client needs, we employ effective analytical tools and technology to help clients maximise their investment success within defined risk parameters.

•  Compliance Monitoring
In 1994, JPMorgan was the first custodian in Australia to offer a compliance-monitoring product and has provided daily compliance since 1996. These pioneering efforts by JPMorgan Australia set the direction for JPMorgan's global product offering - initiating the world's best practice locally. JPMorgan's compliance system is a fully integrated, automated system, utilising the in-house, globally developed application to deliver its compliance services.
