Front office and processing independent from several official P&L closings.
For a single entity organisation, the structure of the building blocks and organisation of official closings is fairly simple. At one point during the day all books are closed, reference market data is snapped at local closing time and the official P&L is calculated on a trade by trade basis for all open positions.
Multi−entity, multi−geographical, multi−time−zoneorganisation, the scenario can be more complex. Different entities can process their own trades and use local market data.The desks are closed independently for each entity and the FO date rolled forward separately for each entity. Once all regions have closed, the Processing date is rolled.

Trading, sales, asset management and segments of activities (Rates, Credit, Currency etc).
