How we can help you
We’ve developed a range of processes and forms that will help you tackle common compliance challenges quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively.
Client Due Diligence
This is based around our proprietary CDD Matrix, which codifies country-specific requirements for various client types and helps move the evidence burden from fee earners to central teams. We can configure the process to suit your specific needs and give you a fast, robust and up-to-date compliance framework. Wherever in the world you’re working.
Key Dates
We designed this form for litigation firms. It allows you to put key dates, e.g. trials and document delivery deadlines, into the matter management process. You can also post details into your matter teams’ Outlook calendars.
Client and Trust Monies Receipts and Withdrawals
We developed these forms to help you follow clear client money risk processes and collect your authorisations evidence in a single place. We can configure fields such as the value of funds being moved, the number of approvals and the types of individuals to suit your specific needs.
The forms also allow you to show separation of duties and check the necessary CDD approval has been granted before you supply bank details to receive funds.
Annual Declarations
We developed this suite of forms and workflows to help you meet UK and other country requirements around specific annual declarations for individuals. These include maintaining a gift register; tracking outside interests; recording client bank accounts where a fee earner is signatory or trustee; authorising and track share dealing.
The data you collect is automatically summarised in an annual declaration for each individual. This means you can complete the requirements for managing Professional Practicing Certificates. The data can also be served up to CRM and conflict systems and used to inform PI insurance declarations.
