June 18 (Reuters) - Citigroup ( C/PN ) said on Tuesday it
will redouble its efforts to automate certain processes and data
related to regulatory reporting, and is committed to investing
in its risk and control environment in the near term.
The lender has been facing some regulatory challenges tied
to its so-called living will that details how the firm would be
unwound in the event of bankruptcy.
The board of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp, a top
banking regulator, plans to vote on Thursday to downgrade its
rating on Citi's data-management systems to a "deficiency" from
a "shortcoming", Reuters reported on Monday.
Citi CEO Jane Fraser will give opening remarks in an
investor day on Tuesday, highlighting the strategy for its
services business, which helps to manage payments and liquidity
for multinational corporations.
She will be followed by Chief Financial Officer Mark Mason
and Shahmir Khaliq, who leads services.
The presentations will allow investors "to dive deeper into
a business that is at the heart of our strategy and unmatched
global network," Fraser said in a statement before the event.
Services is Citigroup's ( C/PN ) most profitable division and is
central to Fraser's turnaround strategy. The business generates
about 20% of Citi's revenue.
