Ask a compliance question

Can I communicate a conditional loan approval before affordability checks are complete?

Do not describe the facility as approved. You may say the application is under assessment and remains subject to affordability and verification checks.Retail Lending Policy §6.4CP Standard §4.2

What should the customer message include?

State the outstanding conditions, the validity period of the indicative terms, any information still required and that final approval is subject to the bank's assessment. Do not quote a guaranteed disbursement date.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from compliance and technology teams.

A document management system stores and retrieves files. RegPRISM adds the compliance context around them, connecting each policy, procedure, control record, attestation or test result to its obligation, owner, approval status, review date and testing outcome.

The platform combines thematic classification and regulatory intelligence with institution-specific context such as jurisdiction, entity type, products, services, business functions and risk domains. Compliance users can review, refine and approve the resulting applicability decision.

RegPRISM compares new or amended instruments with previous requirements and the institution's internal governance documents. It identifies new, modified, removed, unchanged and unique requirements, then helps teams assess their impact.

No. It assesses relevance, completeness, adequacy and strength, then gives reviewers contextual guidance. Approval, certification and escalation continue to follow the institution's configured governance controls.

The co-pilot is grounded in approved regulations, policies, procedures, FAQs and interpretations. Role-based access controls what each user can see, while source references make the basis of guidance reviewable.

Yes. It can use applicable obligations, existing governance documents, approved organisational templates, internal standards and preferred terminology to prepare a structured first draft for human review and approval.

The framework supports risk-based testing plans, monitoring programmes, control design and operating-effectiveness assessments, evidence requests, findings, remediation plans, reassessment and management reporting.

Teams can design dynamic fields, approval hierarchies, maker-checker controls, attestations, service levels, escalation rules and governance checkpoints, with routing that varies by entity, jurisdiction, materiality or risk.
