Structured client responses begin the record.
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.
Assessment evidence, review history, advisor rationale and attestations stay connected from the beginning.

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 assessmentProfessional judgement and client context stay part of the process.
KYC, IPS, suitability and audit evidence grow from the same review.
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:
Could not show that tolerance and capacity had been assessed separately.
Recorded that an investment was suitable without recording the basis for that conclusion.
Could not evidence a meaningful interaction at review where nothing had changed.
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.
What AwareFi produces, every review.
One review creates a connected documentation trail rather than four disconnected administrative tasks.
KYC record
Every element marked changed or unchanged, with the client's confirmation, so the record shows everything was reviewed.
Investment policy statement
Drafted from the client's real profile, including the plan agreed for difficult markets.
Review the plan before making a material portfolio change during periods of stress.
Suitability record
Tolerance and capacity shown separately with the arithmetic, and the reasoning for each factor considered.
Separate evidence remains visible before professional judgement is documented.
Audit trail
Every step of the cycle, who did it and when.
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.
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.
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.
What AwareFi does not do.
Better documentation should make professional judgement easier to evidence — not pretend software can replace it.
It documents your reasoning.
It does not make you compliant. Your policies and judgment remain yours.
It works with your systems.
It does not replace your dealer system or your CRM. It sends records into them.
It records the review.
It does not assess products or monitor concentration from live holdings.
It surfaces the work.
It does not supervise. It queues items for the people who do.
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.
