Rockstone Compliance is joining forces with Acre, the intermediary platform, to provide brokers with the systems and processes to meet their third-party compliance requirements.
Acre says its all-in-one CRM platform is compliant by design, and was built with automated verifications of case data, key compliance workflows and self-documenting history of each client and case to ensure consistent advice and the best customer outcomes.
Its insights using real-time dashboards, detailed reporting and transparent, customisable workflow were deciding factors in Rockstone Compliance’s decision to bring Acre on as a preferred supplier for its clients.
Elizabeth Harris, Rockstone Compliance’s director, said: “Firms are required to report to the FCA several times a year, and it is crucial that this information is both accurate and timely. Sadly, some systems are not up to task – leaving brokers open to risk.
“We’ve known Acre for some time and are impressed by how they’ve embedded data collection and reporting into every step of the advice journey, diminishing the potential for error and making the jobs of compliance officers much easier. From day one of being on Acre, brokers will be compliant and it’s why we have decided to formalise a partnership.”
Justus Brown (pictured), Acre’s CEO and founder, added: “No one understands the complexities of compliance better than Elizabeth and her Rockstone team. They recognise the critical role good technology holds in meeting regulatory requirements.
“We are thrilled to have their recognition as a superior platform that has been built with compliance in mind.”
