INDOS Financial adopts CCL Co-Comply compliance platform

*** PRESS RELEASE ***

CCL, the international GRC consultancy, has launched a unique compliance platform that combines continually updated compliance content with an automated delivery system.

CCL Co-Comply is an integrated service that transforms policies and procedures into electronic forms and automated workflows. The platform is suited to all regulated firms including brokers, wealth managers, private equity firms, corporate finance firms, hedge funds and institutional asset managers. In just a few months CCL Co-Comply has already attracted 18 new clients, including independent AIFMD depositary provider INDOS Financial.

Bill Prew, CEO at INDOS: “As a regulated depositary, it was very important to put in place a robust workflow management system. We worked with CCL Co-Comply to implement a system tailored to our needs as well as enabling us to control our general regulatory compliance monitoring activities.”

The compliance platform automates processes and provides oversight for regulatory compliance obligations. Meanwhile, the integral content management system continually updates and manages all compliance policies and procedures.

“We are already using the platform to record the depositary activity being undertaken for over 25 hedge funds and are extremely pleased with the system,” adds Prew.

“The platform provides a one-stop-shop for compliance management within regulated firms,” says Ralph Lindeyer, founder and Chairman of CCL. “The launch of CCL Co-Comply is part of our long-term development programme, delivering a rounded portfolio of services that can be tailored to our clients’ individual needs.”
