Due Diligence

The Volume of consolidation has increased in recent years due to dwindling IFA demographics.

We can carry out a bespoke past business review of the prospective client bank and provide you with detailed feedback, giving you a 2nd line of defence.

This can highlight any potential themes or concerns which could indicate the potential for future complaints.

Past Business Review

If there are regulatory concerns over your past business or you suspect a process or product may have led to unintentional poor customer outcomes, we can review your past business from a regulatory perspective and provide feedback and recommendations.

We can also support you in reviewing and fine-tuning your advice process, policies, and business monitoring strategy to protect against the issue happening again.
