Back Office Functions

Definition

Back office functions comprise the administrative and support operations of a financial institution or enterprise that do not involve direct client interaction. These operations include accounting, compliance, record-keeping, trade settlement, and risk management. Within the digital asset sector, back office systems manage the reconciliation of on-chain transactions with internal ledgers, ensure regulatory adherence, and handle asset custody. Efficient back office processes are essential for operational integrity and accurate financial reporting.
