Sadly, we'll never get a post-mortem analysis. Good luck to all those affected and I hope for them that the bank follows standard practices when handling transactions bookkeeping. The balance should be easy to recalculate.

We might not get a detailed, technical post-mortem, but I expect someone (the bank, a government regulator) will want to know what happened and why, and there will be some sort of report.

Here's an example reporting on an IT failure at a British bank: https://home.barclays/content/dam/home-barclays/documents/ci...
