The term of the IGF coincides with the financial year of the FSP, however, in order to be renewed, completed financial statements are required. No FSP has its financial statements prepared exactly at financial year end. This means that an application for an interim cover or extension is required as a standard, in order to comply, and this could last for 4 months whilst the statements are being compiled, plus whatever period is required for the issuing of the certificate.
  
  In this instance, the updated or new certificate may not be attached to this report as it could still be awaiting issue.

• Business process, either the documentation thereof or a system driven process, was checked.

• Aspects of compliance with the Companies Act were checked, such as the requirement to complete a public interest score, the Board's requirements in terms of meetings and the minuting thereof, and the adoption of resolutions in respect of compliance.

• Aspects of compliance with the Close Corporations Act were checked, such as the requirement to complete a public interest score, the Member's requirements in terms of disclosing the "cc" status, and the minuting of meetings, and the adoption of resolutions in respect of compliance.

• An enquiry was forwarded to the offices of the Registrar to clarify whether UMA's, who provide binder and/or intermediary services only, should be registered as direct marketers, in terms of the definition of direct marketing. Direct marketing, as defined, means "the rendering of financial services by way of telephone, internet, media insert, direct mail, or electronic mail, excluding any such means which are advertisements not containing transaction requirements".
  
  A direct marketer is a provider who "in the normal course of business, provides all or the predominant part of the financial services concerned in the form of direct marketing". Our instruction was that UMA's should not be registered as "direct marketers".

• Quarterly visits are conducted, theme based and aligned to an annual monitoring plan. The purpose of these onsite visits is to collect sufficient verification of the aspects of compliance under review for that particular period, which collectively provide the practise with sufficient information to be able to complete the Statutory report and obtain insight into the business. The quarterly audits are based on an annual compliance plan and tasks provided to the FSP, broken up into monthly responsibilities.
  
  The fourth quarter comprises the completion of the Annual Compliance Report.

• Monthly visits are conducted, themed and aligned to an annual monitoring plan. The purpose of these onsite visits is to collect sufficient verification of the aspects of compliance under review for that particular period, which collectively provide the practise with sufficient information to be able to complete the Statutory report and obtain insight into the business.
  
  The final monthly monitoring engagement comprises the completion of the Annual Compliance Report.

• The FSP was identified as having juristic representatives. Onsite assessment verified compliance with Disclosure requirements, Section 13 certification, Mandates, Business Operations and FSP engagement with the representatives. Registration of both natural and juristic entities was verified.
  
  An approach of assessing that the compliance of the FSP is filtered down to the representatives is adopted.

• The FSP was provided with an annual compliance plan. Compliance with this is integrated into the themed onsite assessments.

• Updated and compliant templates, ensuring both effective control as well as efficient process, was provided where required, for customisation and implementation.

• File audits focus not only on document compliance with FAIS, such as disclosures and records of engagement and advice, but we also check that there is consistency and accuracy in the offer to purchase, contract and delivery documentation.
  
  AML documentation is checked and we assess both the existence of the document as well as the completeness and correctness.
  
  When performing file audits, we furthermore check to see if these are being checked by a responsible KI.

• Audits of files were conducted in

  Select Quarter 1 Quarter 2 Quarter 3 Quarter 4

  • Quarter 1
  • Quarter 2
  • Quarter 3
  • Quarter 4

• A checklist is used when performing these audits. File audits focus not only on document compliance with FAIS, such as consent to obtain information (where this is required), disclosures and records of engagement and advice, but we also check that correspondence, schedules, verification documents etc. are available and on record. Records of advice amy be evidenced not only through formal documents, but also by means of general email correspondence. AML documentation is checked and we assess both the existence of the documents as well as the completeness and correctness. When performing file audits, we furthermore check to see if these are being checked by a responsible KI.should this be a requirement.

• Audits of files were conducted in

  Select Quarter 1 Quarter 2 Quarter 3 Quarter 4

  • Quarter 1
  • Quarter 2
  • Quarter 3
  • Quarter 4

• Where audits are conducted at UMA's, we assess whether there is any evidence of staff providing advice where this is not permitted, as well as whether process ensures compliance with the requirements of registration.

• Call centre audits focus on script compliance and authorisation, quality assurance process as well as call-recording devices and the ability to recover recordings.

• We checked whether the FSP has a written conflict of interest policy, whether this complies with the requirements of Section 3A of the General Code of Conduct, whether this is made known to the customers of the FSP, and whether there have been any breaches in respect of this, as well as whether any potential conflict of interest has been identified and disclosed.
  
  The existence of, and completion of the gifts register is physically verified and persons were interviewed in respect of the receipt of gifts.
  
  We furthermore checked to see whether persons have been trained on this, and are aware of what is permitted.

• The disclosure documents was inspected for compliance and any amendments or updates forwarded as a recommendation, where this was required.

• The FSP cannot ensure compliance with the requirements of Section 7, as most documentation providing this is issued or approved, by the product supplier, and the FSP is reliant on the integrity of these documents.

• Registration on the Regulator's website was checked against the products and services provided by the FSP and its representatives

• Verification of financial soundness was monitored by means of written confirmation being requested from the person responsible for the accounting or auditing of the business. This includes confirmation of compliance with the requirements of Section 19 as well as liquidity and solvency requirements.

• Health accreditation was verified against the information available on the Council of Medical Schemes website

• Licencing and Authorisation - information as per the online submissions part of the FSP website was forwarded to clients to check, and to notify us of any required changes.

• Mailed verification: Where documentation, process or evidence was not immediately available for verification, the FSP is required to forward these by means of electronic mail.

• Mandates are physically assessed to see if they are on file, properly completed, signed by all parties, and the approved version.

• Counter Money Laundering policies, process, documentation and training was checked. Where required, updated information is provided to the business to ensure compliance. We also have been assisting with the re-registration process on the GoAML system and this is proving to have some challenges.
  
  The existence of required documentation, as well as the verification and dating thereof, was checked.

• The auditing tool includes the facility of obtaining photographic evidence which is incorporated into the report itself. This obviates the requirement in many instances of obtaining a physical document.

• Basic POPI understanding and training need was checked, including confidentiality disclaimers in email signatures

• Each onsite assessment included requesting the FSP whether there were any profile changes.

• The FSP was interviewed to establish whether it collects or holds premium or not. This includes a verification of process to ensure a proper understanding of what the definition is.

• The recordkeeping process, as well as the physical recordkeeping was checked.

• Representatives under supervision: The FSP was checked to establish whether any representatives are under supervision. Where supervised service is in place, records are checked, together with the process being followed to ensure skills transfer, and that adequate records of this are being maintained.

• Risk Plan: A copy of the risk plan was requested for viewing. Currency and adequacy of the plan was discussed and verified. In addition to this, we adopted a new approach in respect of risk monitoring which includes discussing and identifying actual and real risks to the business, in an effort to try and create a more valuable tool.
