GAS FUNCTIONALITY AND SCOPE

Governance Assurance Packs GAS packs provide the ability to diversify in terms of service providers quickly and easily. Terms can be established with service providers, such as banks, through Corporate GAS packs which can automate the Accepted Introducer/Intermediary due diligence process. Corporate GAS packs profile the business, their key persons and all associated documentation. Entities and associated Clients can also be introduced to other service providers with all necessary information and documentation collated and transmitted at the click of a button. These packs can be emailed as pdf or can be automatically uploaded at a separate installation of GAS. GAS packs allow you to differentiate yourselves from your competitors by showing existing and potential clients how readily you can establish terms with new providers of service on their behalf for the best returns, whilst at the same time maintain a robustly compliant and governed business. In addition the ability to readily diversify product and service providers is an additional competitive advantage particularly in the current economic climate. Assessment Templates Three years study of relevant local, national and international regulation/compliance and best practice has resulted in the first compliance, risk management and third party interaction system for financial services businesses based directly upon guidance from local and international bodies. These templates can be fully tailored by each individual business and provide all the questions and considerations required for comprehensive due diligence and corporate governance. GAS provides risk assessment templates (likelihood x impact), correlation assessment templates (quality versus value added) and objective acceptance and administration templates (defining business process).
