Thanks Pete.
Again, I believe we are continuing to go over old ground for Second Sight but I have asked Rod Ismay to provide confirmation and
necessary documentation.
We'll see what he comes up with.

Gareth has pointed out there was never an option to manipulate Branch accounts through Horizon. The description of the process
that was in place should be available from P£&BA (FSC).
Hope this is OK.

Pete,
There was never any capability for POL Staff to manipulate the Branch accounts through Horizon. I think the Ops Manual is badly
written.
I do remember the introduction of TCs in 2006 (I was the Architect responsible for this as part of the IMPACT programme). What
used to happen before that is that the Branch was sent a piece of paper called an Error Notice. This would then instruct them to
carry out some specific transaction at the Branch. These were often ignored. The whole point of TCs was to simplify and speed up
the process and enforce conformance.
There may also have been a mechanism by which POL could manipulate the branch accounts in their old accounting system (CBDB
owned and operated by POL or CSC on their behalf), but I never had any real understanding of that system.
Therefore I think this is yet another red herring!
Regards
Gareth

Can you remember this change as it looks like prior to the introduction of POLSAP PO staff were able to make changes to a
branches account on site.
I assume this should have been more specific about PO staff making changes to the central record of the branch balance and not
affecting any of the transactions.

Hi Pete
I think Ron’s further questions below are — like the majority list of 26 we saw at the meeting earlier this week — covered by the fact
that there was no access to live systems from the test area.
Could you however take a look at the operations manual statement attached and Alan Bates reference to “finance teams can no
longer adjust client accounts on site”. Could you provide some clarity/context around that statement?
Thanks
Steve

Simon/Steve:
Alan Bates is asking a question here that is pretty similar to one of our set of 26.
It is inferred, in the first para of the attached section of POL's Operations Manual, that POL finance people had been able, until
December 2006, to access branch accounts directly (presumably to process TCs). Could you please clarify:
1. whether, before December 2006, any POL employees were able to input transactions directly into branch accounts... and if so,,,
2. whether - and when and how - SPMRs/Branch staff were informed whenever such interventions occurred
3. where POL staff having that capability were based
4. what transaction types were involved and, lastly...
5. what User IDs were applied to the transactions so executed.
Many thanks. Ron.

Ron, re SROOS, quite some time ago I sent you through a scan from a POL SPMR operations manual, copy attached.
With regard to external access to a SPMR’s data, it might be worth obtaining clarification from POL about what the
first paragraph of section 7 of the attached scan meant where they state “finance teams can no longer adjust client
accounts on site”. Did that mean that they could before the date of the document and what that actually related to,
by whom and from where?
You may have already have covered this point with POL but otherwise it may have some bearing on SROOS or
associated issues.
