What does a product controller do?

A Product Controller is responsible for overseeing the financial reporting, analysis, and control of trading activities within a financial institution, typically in investment banks. They ensure the accuracy of daily profit and loss statements, monitor balance sheet exposures, and collaborate with traders, risk, and operations teams to ensure financial integrity. Product Controllers play a key role in identifying discrepancies, implementing control processes, and supporting regulatory compliance. Their work helps ensure that financial data reflects true trading performance and supports strategic decision-making.
