Candour compliance monitoring plan for a fictional MiFID investment firm: risk-based tests with owner, frequency, next date and evidence

Your whole compliance function. One platform.

Scoped to your firm

Policies, risks, monitoring tests and surveillance models set from your permissions, instruments and activities.

Every staff action recorded

Dealing requests, gifts, attestations and outside interests, each checked, decided and signed off.

Change assessed first

A new venue, asset class, prime broker or algorithm is assessed before it starts.

Evidence on demand

Every test, decision and sign-off kept with its evidence, ready for the board and the FCA.

Code of ethics

Pre-clearance that checks itself.

Each dealing request is checked automatically against the restricted and watch lists, the funds' own dealing and the holding period, with a recommendation for the compliance officer. Account declarations, statement reconciliation, gifts against the counterparty limit, outside interests and attestations sit alongside. Nobody approves their own request.

Personal account dealing pre-clearance for a fictional firm: automatic checks against the restricted and watch lists, fund dealing and the holding period

Surveillance and algo trading

Built for how you trade.

Surveillance models for spoofing and layering, momentum ignition, wash trades, marking the close, order-to-trade ratios, pre-announcement build and front running, as starting points to back-test on your own data. The algorithmic trading framework keeps the inventory, the pre-deployment gate, kill functionality testing and the annual RTS 6 self-assessment.

Business change

The horizon, filtered to you.

Each regulatory change is shown with why it applies to your firm and what to do. Anything new, from a venue or jurisdiction to a sub-adviser or algorithmic strategy, gets a roadmap across approvals, policy, surveillance, the RCSA, disclosures, licensing and capital before it starts.

Standalone, or with Oversight

Oversight for the firms you answer for. Candour for your own.

Hedge funds

MiFID and AIFMD managers who want the whole function in one place, with the monitoring plan and code of ethics running day to day.

Prop trading firms and market makers

Surveillance, algo trading controls and RTS 6, alongside SMCR and staff dealing.

Firms leaving a principal

An AR on Oversight that takes its own authorisation keeps its people, policies, monitoring history and evidence. They carry straight across.
