UNIVERSAL ADVANCED Audit Trail Integrity for Algorithmic Trading Project Acronym: UAATIAT

PROBLEM: Financial crime and trade-secret theft move through records that were never designed to be joined: the audit trail integrity for algorithmic trading problem is that the evidence of a scheme lives in separate institutions, so no one party can see the whole pattern and the victim cannot prove what was taken, when, or by whom.

SOLUTION: IBM Cloud Ideas would provide a governed audit trail integrity for algorithmic trading record: every transfer, access, and claim logged with lineage, so ownership and loss are provable end to end. It governs the record, not the transaction.

EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — the Bank Secrecy Act and FinCEN rules govern anti-money-laundering programmes; trade-secret theft prosecutions under the Defend Trade Secrets Act are documented; large fraud schemes in documented SEC enforcement actions show the record-keeping gaps.
