Regulatory Challenges in the Profession
Client and Engagement Acceptance and Continuance
Know Your Client (KYC) / Anti-Money Laundering (AML)
The KYC/AML process is key to understanding and mitigating your risk before accepting and continuing client relationships. Kingland’s KYC/AML solution streamlines regulatory compliance while enhancing risk management. With comprehensive data sourcing and intelligent workflows, your firm is enabled to perform enhanced client due diligence, proactive threat detection and mitigation, policy enforcement at the member firm level, and ongoing monitoring.Conflict and Independence
Checking
The ability for your firm to conduct comprehensive conflict and independence checks against your clients is inextricably linked to its ability to grow quickly under regulatory scrutiny. Kingland offers a highly configurable and data-driven questionnaire solution that ensures you get the right information in front of the right people to process conflict checks and independence checks.
Client Affiliate
Hierarchy Management
Understanding your client's affiliate hierarchy is a complex regulatory obligation at the heart of evaluating independence and conflicts. This complexity only grows exponentially as firms seek to understand their client's ever-changing affiliate relationships and identify existing firm relationships to those entities. How can firms understand their independence without first conquering this complexity?
Inspections & Testing
The inspection process requires the most thorough review of a professional's financial interests. It only makes sense to conduct the inspection in a system that is integrated with that financial interest data. Kingland's Inspection & Testing solution enables firms to automatically ask data-driven questions based on a professional's unique situation and protect sensitive documentation that is required for review.
Independence Compliance Confirmations
Without automation, administering your firm's confirmation process can require multiple full-time employees. The time it takes to build the questionnaires to ask people in different offices or different roles the right questions, review responses, manage violations, and report on the results is a regulatory obligation. What if the majority of the process could be automated?Financial Interest
Tracking
Maintaining financial independence from your clients is the foundation of meeting your regulatory obligations, and it is the foundation of Kingland's expertise in risk and compliance software going back decades. Kingland powers automated disclosure through broker integration, financial interest pre-clearance, automated notifications and reminders, and much more to give firms the confidence that their personnel are in compliance.
