Keeping your credit broking business properly controlled

Compliance does not stop once your permissions, policies or customer journey are in place.

For credit brokers, the business needs to keep checking that controls are working, customers are receiving clear information, financial promotions remain accurate, complaints are being handled properly and good customer outcomes are being monitored.

At Authorised Compliance, we help firms build and deliver practical compliance monitoring that reflects how the business actually operates.

How we support compliance monitoring

We help firms implement practical compliance monitoring frameworks that focus on key regulatory risks, customer outcomes and ongoing oversight across the business.

Monitoring plans and review schedules

We help create practical compliance monitoring plans that focus on the key risks in your business, including customer journeys, promotions, complaints, Consumer Duty and governance.

File reviews and customer journey testing

We review customer files, audit trails, communications and journey evidence to help assess whether processes are being followed in practice.

Financial promotion and website checks

We review websites, landing pages, adverts, emails, scripts, social media and partner communications as part of ongoing compliance monitoring.

Complaints, MI and outcome monitoring

We help firms review complaints, root cause analysis, customer outcome evidence, management information and senior management reporting.

Credit broking is what we know

Compliance monitoring built around real credit broking activity

Authorised Compliance brings more than 20 years of experience across consumer finance, credit broking, lender relationships, AR networks, IAR models, fintech platforms and motor finance.

That means we understand where risks usually appear in a credit broking model.

Your website may say one thing, your advert may suggest another, your application journey may create confusion and your complaints may reveal issues that are not visible from policy documents alone.

We help firms monitor the areas that matter most, using practical reviews that show whether the business is properly controlled in the real world.

A stronger compliance monitoring framework from day one

A strong compliance monitoring framework should give the business confidence that its controls are working.

It should also help senior management identify risk early, take action where needed and evidence how the firm is supporting fair customer outcomes.

We help firms build monitoring that is proportionate, focused and useful. The aim is not to create paperwork for the sake of it. The aim is to give the business clear insight into how it is operating.

Compliance monitoring plan

A monitoring plan should be built around the firm’s real risk profile.

We help define what needs to be reviewed, how often reviews should take place, who is responsible, how findings are recorded and how actions are tracked.

Customer file reviews

Customer files should show what happened, what the customer was told and whether the correct process was followed.

We review files, communications, disclosures, audit trails and supporting evidence to identify gaps or areas for improvement.

Financial promotion monitoring

Financial promotions can change quickly, especially where firms use paid adverts, affiliates, landing pages or partner activity.

We help review live and planned promotions so firms can evidence that customer-facing communications remain clear, fair and not misleading.

MI and senior management reporting

Monitoring should lead to useful management information.

We help firms create practical reporting that highlights findings, trends, risks, actions and customer outcome evidence in a way senior management can understand and use.

Who we support

Credit brokers, ARs, IARs and growing finance businesses

Authorised Compliance supports firms that need ongoing compliance monitoring, independent reviews or additional oversight.

This includes credit brokers, Appointed Representatives, Introducer Appointed Representatives, lead generation firms, fintech platforms, affiliate businesses, motor finance introducers and firms preparing for FCA authorisation or principal review.

We also support businesses that already have policies in place but need stronger evidence that those policies are being followed in practice.

When compliance monitoring support can help

Common signs your monitoring framework needs review

Compliance monitoring support is particularly useful when your business is growing, launching new marketing activity, working with affiliates, changing lender relationships, appointing introducers, preparing for a review or handling increased complaint volumes.

You may also need support if your monitoring plan is outdated, reviews are not happening regularly, findings are not being tracked, senior management reporting is limited or your Consumer Duty MI does not clearly show customer outcomes.

Reviewing these areas early helps firms identify risk, improve controls and evidence the actions being taken.

Our approach

Practical, structured and built around your risk profile

1. Understand

We review your business model, customer journey, marketing channels, lender relationships, partners, permissions and existing monitoring framework.

2. Identify

We highlight gaps in monitoring, file evidence, financial promotion controls, complaints oversight, Consumer Duty MI and governance.

3. Strengthen

We help improve your monitoring plan, review schedule, reporting, action tracking, file review process and customer outcome evidence.

4. Support

We provide ongoing monitoring support where needed, including reviews, audits, financial promotion checks, complaints analysis, MI and remediation planning.
