See how we can help

Product reviews

We determine whether features of products or services will expose the firm and / or its customers to risk, and help firms augment their processes, policies, procedures, governance and training to ensure issues will not crystallise in the customer base.

We can do this as a one-off exercise or on an ongoing quality assurance basis.

Sales suitability

We ensure that your sales process does not result in excess risk by assessing its component parts, including: customer touchpoints and the information provided, disclosures and any conflicts of interest, sales incentives, training, recordkeeping and many other factors.

This is both in a regulatory and operational context, covering past, current and future business.

Outcomes testing

We use robust and focused outcomes testing to ensure a clear view of product performance, and, if issues with products have already arisen, root cause analysis to accurately pinpoint the areas requiring action, subsequently making recommendations for enhancements.
