The Compliance monitoring auditing system integrates seamlessly with Trigold’s Prospector Plus mortgage sourcing software to offer an end-to-end solution.
SQ2’s Trigold system, including Compliance Shield, is now available to all mortgage advisers looking to be directly authorised with the FSA, Appointed Representatives of SQ2, or even existing directly authorised IFAs.
SQ2 is the new name in network benefits, compliance services and mortgage packaging, with the prospect of a prosperous new year for brokers that take advantage of the products offered.
It offers brokers Appointed Representative status, Introducer status, and Registered Individual status. Further services include ongoing training, as well as compliance, training and competence support.
The company also offers an extensive mortgage packaging service that includes an impressive range of lenders on its packaged panel, as well as a mortgage desk facility and free sourcing software.
SQ2 is part of the Squirrel Financial Management group, led by directors David Burns, Ian Bascombe and Steve Clawley. It has grown substantially recently, adding Secure Mortgages and SQ2 to the group. It currently has more than 50 staff and, with its direct FSA authorisation, is well placed to continue its growth and development in 2004 and beyond.
Steve Clawley, managing director of SQ2, based in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, said: “Compliance Shield automates and tracks each part of the mortgage sales process. This development is an important part of our total offering, and endorses our decision to choose Trigold as our exclusive sourcing system partner.
“The integration of Trigold, with our other partners such as 1st Software, continues to enhance the monitoring process, and means the auditing process is much more manageable. SQ2 is pleased to offer the new system as part of our comprehensive menu of services. We can also offer a free 30 day trial which will give advisers a demonstration of how valuable this development could be to them.”
Bill Safran, joint managing director of Trigold, said: “SQ2 can now offer advisers a complete end to end solution. Compliance monitoring and auditing is crucial under the new FSA rules and SQ2 wanted to ensure that their advisers had a lighter-touch way of dealing with this requirement.
“SQ2 were also keen to have a solution that was ‘battle-hardened’ and since Compliance Shield was launched last year it has won over 1,000 users and over 100,000 compliance documents already stored. We look forward to continuing to work closely with SQ2 for the benefit of their advisers.”
