File Reviews

Here at CATS, we do not employ file checkers - we employ Compliance Consultants who also review files, the key word here being ‘review’.

Our team of office-based File Reviewers are all qualified to at least Diploma level with four of the team being PTS with G60 or equivalent qualifications. We will not follow a tick box approach and nor do we try to catch anyone out. Our goal is to help, add value and work with our firms to make steady improvements to your advice process. We have our own HUB which gives you a dashboard oversight to all files reviewed along with valuable management information showing trends within your firm.

We Provide

We do not follow a tick box: Our goal is to help, add value and work with our firms to make steady improvements to your advice process.
Your own dashboard: We have our own HUB which gives you a dashboard oversight to all files reviewed along with valuable management information showing trends within your firm.
Secure transfer of files: Our HUB allows you to transfer documents safely, securely and easily to us and make requests for files to be reviewed.
Working with you: Our team will always try to contact you should a document be missing rather than just mark you down. If we are not making a difference to your firm, then we are not doing it right!
Sensible approach: We review with the mindset of does it meet FCA COBS rules? Does the file reflect the firm’s internal procedures? Can the advice be defended in the event of a complaint?

Our Client's views..

We have used CATS for several years and have always been very pleased with their service and have
found their file reviews to be extremely helpful. We would recommend them to anyone seeking an
independent view of their internal compliance procedures and processes.
