Creating Executive Banking Reports
YAML--- name: creating-executive-banking-reports description: Creates comprehensive analytical reports for senior banking executives by synthesizing insights from multiple data sources (CSV, Salesforce, Excel, etc.). Use when executives need strategic insights from complex financial data. ---
Creating Executive Banking Reports
Quick Start
Pythonimport pandas as pd import numpy as np from datetime import datetime, timedelta # Executive summary template exec_summary = { 'key_findings': [], 'revenue_impact': 0, 'risk_indicators': [], 'recommendations': [] } # Load and merge core datasets client_data = pd.read_csv('client_portfolio.csv') salesforce_data = pd.read_excel('sf_export.xlsx') performance_data = pd.read_csv('performance_metrics.csv') merged_data = client_data.merge(salesforce_data, on='client_id', how='left')
Recommendation▾
Replace the generic Python code in Quick Start with a banking-specific example showing actual data transformation and KPI calculation (e.g., AUM growth calculation, client concentration metrics)
Workflow
Progress:
- Data Discovery: Catalog all available sources and data quality
- Executive Interview: Confirm key questions and success metrics
- Data Integration: Clean, standardize, and merge disparate sources
- Analysis Framework: Apply banking KPIs (AUM growth, fee income, risk metrics)
- Insight Generation: Identify trends, anomalies, and opportunities
- Visualization Design: Create executive-level charts and dashboards
- Narrative Construction: Build compelling story with data evidence
- Executive Review: Present findings and refine recommendations
Recommendation▾
Add more concrete input/output examples - include actual data snippets and show the exact executive summary format with real numbers and specific recommendations
Examples
Example 1: Client Concentration Risk Analysis Input: Client portfolio data, transaction history, market data Output: "Top 10 clients represent 47% of AUM ($2.3B), with 3 clients showing 15%+ portfolio volatility. Recommend diversification strategy targeting $500M in new mid-tier acquisitions."
Example 2: Revenue Opportunity Assessment Input: Salesforce pipeline, fee structures, client interactions Output: "Underutilized advisory services across 340 high-net-worth clients represent $12M annual revenue opportunity. Current penetration: 23% vs. peer average of 41%."
Recommendation▾
Expand the workflow checklist with banking-specific validation steps (regulatory compliance checks, risk tolerance verification, peer benchmarking methodology)
Best Practices
Data Integration:
- Establish master client ID mapping across all systems
- Document data lineage and refresh frequencies
- Flag data quality issues prominently in reports
Executive Communication:
- Lead with 3-bullet executive summary
- Use banking terminology (AUM, NAV, alpha, Sharpe ratio)
- Quantify everything in dollars and basis points
- Include confidence intervals for projections
Visual Standards:
- Limit to 5 colors maximum
- Use horizontal bar charts for rankings
- Include trend arrows and variance indicators
- Standardize on monthly/quarterly time periods
Common Pitfalls
- Don't present raw correlation matrices to executives
- Don't use technical jargon (API calls, data schemas) in reports
- Don't show more than 7 items in any single chart
- Don't forget to adjust for market conditions in performance comparisons
- Don't present recommendations without clear ROI calculations
- Don't ignore regulatory implications (privacy, compliance requirements)
