Compliance Reviews

We can provide compliance actuarial support for the pensions review, the FSAVC review, mortgage endowment review.  Complaint support can also be delivered.  We are also able to provide actuarial support for FSA SYSC audits.  We are able to provide as much or as little of the project as required from purely actuarial number work to full project management and quality assurance.  We are also able to provide quality assurance on reviews carried out in house or externally by other consultants. 

Key Benefits

  • Experienced in all three reviews with existing clients.
  • Reduces your overhead by outsourcing a technically complex area for a small flow of work.
  • Quality of a very high standard - achieved better quality rankings than some of the larger consultancies.
  • Planning and audit capability.  Ensure your SYSC audit is really independent.

Capabilities

All of the compliance reviews can be supported.  We can also carry out full SYSC audits.  We understand the administration processes and flows

Pension and FSAVC Review
There is still a steady flow of an odd number of cases per month from our clients here.  We can carry out just the actuarial loss and redress assessment or we can include data collection, offer letter and compliance assessment.  We have been involved in these reviews since late 1994.  We have a high rate of quality achieved.  We continue to maintain software and experienced team members.  We are cost effective especially against maintaining capability in house and against the remaining consultancies in the market.  Fixed fee contracts are available at 40+ cases. 
Mortgage Endowment Review and Complaints Support.
We can provide all of the number side of the mortgage endowment review.  In our experience, the software packages do not allow correctly (without work arounds) for the different ways that building societies charge interest and work their repayment mortgages.  We can deal with complex calculations.  Again, fixed fee contracts are available if the flow is great enough but we are happy taking on small numbers of cases on hourly rate contracts.
SYSC Review.
We have experience and abilities at looking at key internal processes and procedures in a life office.  Unit pricing, new business and claims processing as well as core risk assessment and controls by senior management.
