- Recon: We get this break due to corporate action that has happened in these securities (ISIN, CUSIP, SEDOL) and it has not been properly processed in the third-party software. So, we see the break and what type of corporate action has been performed in this account by announcement id and process it properly by transferring the security from parent to child and reconcile the position as per the bank client account so it gets reported properly in the form 1099 B.
