How can you enhance the results of your audits?
Sometimes it’s just the little things, like ensuring you PDF and save your workpapers, including any research conducted within a product platform or financial software to the advice file.
It’s not uncommon for advisers to mention that workpapers are “saved in WealthSolver” or another product platform when they are not readily identifiable during an independent audit. However, it is crucial that all information related to the personal advice provided to a client is traceable to its source.
In most instances, advisers have completed the necessary research; the subsequent step is to PDF the documents and save them in the advice file within their systems.
As the new year begins, we are updating our pricing.
This slight increase in our service fee is a testament to our dedication to delivering personalized, tailored, and advisory services that cater to your unique business requirements.
