Compliance & Recordkeeping

Q: Can the compliance officer still review and approve audit reports before they go to the regulator?

Yes. Automation generates the report, but a human compliance officer or manager reviews it for accuracy and completeness before sending.

Q: What happens if a document is missing or an approval is incomplete?

Automation flags the gap immediately and notifies the compliance officer. The officer can then request the missing item from the broker, and the system tracks the request until it is resolved.

Q: Will automation work with our existing CRM and document storage setup?

Automation integrates with mainstream CRM platforms and document storage services. Your team will confirm compatibility during the planning phase.

Q: How does automation handle different ways brokers describe the same type of interaction?

Automation uses natural language processing to recognize variations in how brokers describe interactions, so it captures the intent correctly even if the wording differs.

Keep every deal file audit-ready without burying your team in manual document chasing and folder maintenance.

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Client interaction receivedtrigger

Email arrives in broker inbox or message is posted in client channel. The automation platform monitors these inboxes and channels for new messages.

2. Extract interaction details

The automation parses email or message to extract client name, date, interaction type, and summary. Attachments are identified and flagged.

3. Log

Extracted details are automatically written as a new activity record linked to the client contact, with timestamp and full audit trail.

4. File documents

Attachments and related files are automatically moved to the correct client folder, with consistent naming and version control.

5. Validate against compliance checklist

The automation checks the client record against the regulatory checklist, comparing required documents and approvals against what is now on file.

6. All compliance items present?

If yes, the record is marked complete. If no, a notification is sent to the compliance officer with a list of missing items.

7. Notify compliance officer

Message is sent to the compliance officer with a summary of missing items and a link to the client record.

8. Generate audit report

On demand or on a monthly schedule, the automation platform queries and to compile a timestamped audit report with all interactions, documents, and compliance status. Report is saved and marked ready for review.
