Enhancing Financial Question Answering: A Novel Benchmark Dataset of Banks' financial statements

FinRAG-QA is a new benchmark dataset for financial question answering, featuring 999 practitioner-curated questions on 10 standardised indicators drawn from 209 annual and Pillar 3 reports of 24 major European and U.S. banks between 2019 and 2023. The dataset focuses on cross‑institutional retrieval over documents averaging 198k words, making it longer than any existing financial QA resource. Experiments on a multi‑stage Retrieval‑Augmented Generation pipeline show that contextual chunk enrichment and a retrieval‑optimised embedding model significantly improve NDCG@10, while a reasoning‑optimised generator boosts answer accuracy from 44.6% to 79.0% when the correct document is retrieved.

CIFQA: A Deterministic Tool-Grounded Multi-Agent LLM Framework for Financial Query Answering

CIFQA is a deterministic, tool‑grounded multi‑agent framework that separates language understanding from numerical execution for financial question answering. It assigns specialized agents for interpretation, routing, parameter extraction, computation planning, and response generation, while deterministic Python tools perform the calculations. On a fixed‑deposit benchmark, CIFQA achieves 95.54% accuracy on calculation‑intensive queries and 90.87% overall, outperforming larger LLM baselines and showing that architecture, not scale, drives numerical reliability.
