For years, Strategi has advocated that many FAPs are overcomplicating compliance, adding extra costs and admin. Now, the FMA has confirmed the same issue—some FAPs are being overly cautious and making compliance harder than it needs to be.

With experience across hundreds of clients, we know where businesses are getting it wrong—and how to fix it. Even minor changes, like simplifying a document or automating a process, can save considerable time and money. Imagine the impact of a full Compliance Assurance Review or outsourcing compliance tasks to a Virtual Compliance Officer (VCO) and what that could mean for your business.

Our Compliance Assurance Reviews consistently find that FAPs are using unnecessarily complex client documentation, particularly in disclosure and advice documents. Strategi’s solutions—using AI, automation, and streamlined templates—help you:

✔ Cut admin time and paperwork.
✔ Reduce compliance costs by working smarter.
✔ Speed up client data recording and improve record-keeping.
✔ Find and compare suitable products more efficiently.
✔ Eliminate unnecessary signatures and duplicated content.
✔ Make advice documents clearer and easier for clients to understand.

If compliance is taking up too much of your time, our Virtual Compliance Officer service can take the burden off your team. We manage compliance for you—saving time, cutting costs, and letting you focus on what really matters: your clients and business growth.
