COMPLIANCE

Compliance, systemized. And finally working for you.

KYC reviews, suitability records and investment policy statements, in one clean process that records everything as it happens. The work you are required to do becomes the conversation that deepens the relationship.

BUILT AROUND THE RECORD

Assessment evidence, review history, advisor rationale and attestations stay connected from the beginning.

IT STARTS WITH THE ASSESSMENT

One conversation. A record that builds itself around it.

Every document below is drafted from what your client shares in the behavioural assessment and what you discuss together, so nothing is typed twice.

See the assessment
01
CLIENT INPUT Behavioural assessment

Structured client responses begin the record.

02
ADVISOR CONTEXT Your conversation

Professional judgement and client context stay part of the process.

03
CONNECTED RECORD Compliance documentation

KYC, IPS, suitability and audit evidence grow from the same review.

THE DOCUMENTATION PROBLEM

What Canadian regulators found in December 2025.

The Canadian Securities Administrators and CIRO reviewed know your client and suitability practices at 105 registered firms. Among the findings, they noted that many firms:

01

Could not show that tolerance and capacity had been assessed separately.

02

Recorded that an investment was suitable without recording the basis for that conclusion.

03

Could not evidence a meaningful interaction at review where nothing had changed.

04

Blended the risk profile into a single number with no documented logic.

Good compliance is not more paperwork. It is better evidence of the work already being done.

THE OUTPUT

What AwareFi produces, every review.

One review creates a connected documentation trail rather than four disconnected administrative tasks.

RECORD 01

On a dealer platform?

Where your official KYC lives on your dealer's own forms, AwareFi prepares the information in a form ready to transfer, rather than replacing the dealer's record.

REVIEW OVERSIGHT

Know who is due before they are overdue.

Every client carries a review date set by their account type. One screen shows your whole book by what needs doing: due this month, overdue, awaiting your sign off, flagged for attention. For your compliance lead, one view of the firm.

MATERIAL CHANGE

Financial capacity has changed.

The current assessment indicates a meaningful decrease from the previous recorded capacity. Advisor review and rationale are required before the record can be completed.

Risk capacity 74 → 58 Material decrease
Risk tolerance 62 → 61 Broadly stable
Loss aversion 38 → 52 Increased
NEXT STEP Advisor rationale

Record how the changed evidence affects the advisor's review and recommendation.

CLEAR BOUNDARIES

What AwareFi does not do.

Better documentation should make professional judgement easier to evidence — not pretend software can replace it.

01

It documents your reasoning.

It does not make you compliant. Your policies and judgment remain yours.

02

It works with your systems.

It does not replace your dealer system or your CRM. It sends records into them.

03

It records the review.

It does not assess products or monitor concentration from live holdings.

04

It surfaces the work.

It does not supervise. It queues items for the people who do.

BUILT FOR THE REAL REVIEW

Compliance that works because the relationship works.

Turn the assessment, the client conversation and advisor judgement into a record that is easier to review, explain and carry forward.
