On top of the regular compliance-related services, we offer a range of IT solutions to automate the compliance function (ComplianceTech).

One way to start automating your company’s compliance processes could be via the implementation of compliance checklists.

They look like automated questionnaires, which any employee may fill in without a compliance officer’s help to obtain clear recommendations regarding the applicable internal norms and regulations and how to implement their requirements.

Our solution helps to timely respond to changes in the legislation and to the newly issued recommendations of the regulators, which is so important now.

Checklists will help you optimise internal processes, save time and effort of your employees, and reduce the company’s expenses.
