LetsComply

Let’s do the compliance. You do the business.

Thirty years of FICA, POPIA and the acronyms in between. We translate the legislation into something practical: a system your business can actually use, and keep using, once we have handed it over.

Our view

The best compliance programme is the one your team actually uses.

Programmes rarely fail on the drafting. They fail on a Tuesday afternoon, when a new client file needs opening and nobody’s quite sure whose job the checks are.

They fail again when a regulator arrives for an inspection and asks you to prove what you have been doing all along. In that moment, policies sitting in a folder are not enough. You need records, evidence and a system that shows compliance actually happened — not just that it was written down.

Written for your business, not in general

We start with how criminals actually target your line of work (your industry’s sectoral risk assessment), and with where the risk sits in your own business.

A fix-it list, worst first

The gaps come back ranked by what carries the most risk, not listed alphabetically — so the time you can spare goes where it counts.

Ready if someone asks

The people who approved the programme can say what is in it, the annual review actually happens, and the current version sits where an inspector would look for it.

It lives in the business, not on a shelf

We hand each job to the person who’ll be doing it, then stay close through the first few months — when a new routine is at its most fragile.

What we usually fix

The four we sort out most often

Not one of them is a missing document. Each is a gap between what a programme says and what you could actually put in front of someone — and each is straightforward to close.

01

You did the checks. Can you prove it?

The work gets done. What goes missing is the trail that shows it — and the trail is the only part anyone else can see.

02

You screened them once, on day one.

Sanctions lists change. Someone who was clean when they signed up may not be a year later, and a single check at the start doesn’t cover that.

03

You trained the team. Nobody wrote it down.

An inspection asks who came, what was covered and when. Training nobody recorded looks much like training that never happened.

04

Someone left. The paperwork still has their name on it.

Your registration with the Financial Intelligence Centre (goAML) and your registered Information Officer and Deputy — whoever is answerable for personal data — all go quietly out of date. Each one is quick for a supervisor to check.
