Using behavioural science and working with compliance and ex-FCA professionals, a diagnostic test is structured as the first stage in a process of automated strategic professional development, which aims to gain a fuller understanding of where a firm is ‘at’ in relation to the key business, people, digital and regulatory development issues.

The purpose of the diagnostic is to move from checklist approach to encourage holistic and strategic thinking and benchmark the firm’s performance against the rules and professional good practice.

• The output of the diagnostic questionnaire provides a high-level strategic benchmark plan which you can analyse to identify gaps in propositions
• The main output is colour coded and rated regulatory dashboards, along with a radar chart and key areas for focus and development
• A dynamic action tracker structured with resources and key actions for focus are provided and actions tracked for evidence-based practice
• Compliance calendar integrates with each firm’s calendar system to offer automated alerts
• Signposted ideas and guidance to improve regulatory scores to nudge professional service development journey in the right direction are included
• A compliance chat bot that offers guidance on improving regulatory scores
• Automated client file review system that auto-audits compliance policy documents saving time and costs plus acts as a compliance document resource centre
• Integration with third party practice management technologies (e.g. Intelliflo) to offer streamlined reports such as data quality or advice suitability health checks
