MGL · Accounting Mastery

Real-time accounting integrity for your core banking

MGL makes your Temenos accounting data reliable, surfaces the real discrepancies, automates controls, and produces traceable reporting for your finance and compliance teams.

The core banking paradox: a transaction engine, an analytical bottleneck

Temenos T24 and Transact are excellent transactional engines — but they were not designed for the deep accounting analysis that auditors and regulators demand today.

Twenty years ago, your bank statement was just a few lines. Today it runs for pages: transfers, cheques, instant transfers, card payments and withdrawals, online purchases, contactless, direct debits… The volume has exploded.

A core banking system is built to absorb that flow at high speed — not to dissect its detail. Asking it to run an accounting investigation, or to produce a detailed general ledger account by account, contract by contract, would bring it to its knees.

It's not a flaw — it's its nature. Transaction processing and accounting analysis are two different jobs — and the second one is exactly what MGL does.

6 in 10 banks consider their legacy infrastructure to be the primary barrier to growth.

Failure Points

The 4 failure points of transactional systems

Reporting & extraction

Slow and rigid. Generating mandatory reports and accounting statements can take days.

Accounting discrepancies

Traceability is nearly impossible. Finding the source of a difference is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Post-closing processes

Restrictive analysis. Producing a detailed trial balance that includes post-closing entries is not possible.

Legacy systems

A straitjacket for evolution. Updating mapping tables, charts of accounts and classifications is costly.

The Solution

The solution: an independent accounting layer

MGL is an intelligent layer that works directly with your raw data — we do not replace your core banking, we complement it. MGL becomes your single source of accounting truth: it transforms Temenos data into 6-column trial balances, general ledger, detailed balance, CAC reports and provides source data for your regulatory reporting. All powered by RADAR (real-time discrepancy detection), MGL Insight (exploring hundreds of millions of entries) and IRIS (programmable control agent 24/7).
