What is Proofdesk?

Your Compliance Team's Digital Workspace

Proofdesk is a software platform developed by Native Systems Limited that streamlines your compliance workflows while maintaining a signed and dated audit trail of all activities related to managing AML/CFT compliance. Proofdesk offers a high degree of configurability, adapting to processes and policies you already have in place.

The software acts as your compliance team’s smart filing cabinet, encompassing:

Identities & Documents

Manage and store essential customer identity information and documents.

Customer Risk Assessments

Streamline customer risk assessments with custom templates, risk levels and criteria.

Lifecycle Management

Manage the full compliance lifecycle from onboarding through reviews and reporting.

Relationship Approvals

Implement and evidence approval workflows for engaging or terminating customer relationships.

Version Control & Audit History

Document the history of all evidence including policies, documents, assessments and approvals.

Advanced Reporting

Instantly generate tailored reports on your compliance activities and the risks you face.

Statistical Returns

Generate your Statistical Return for the regulator in a matter of seconds.


The way you document your AML/CFT evidence really matters

Recent civil penalties from the FSA have demonstrated that the method you use to document your evidence is just as important as what you’re documenting. Even fully compliant firms aren’t safe from fines if they don’t have a sufficient paper trail to evidence their AML/CFT process to the regulator.

Compliance teams face unique challenges that spreadsheets or generalised “compliance modules” can’t adequately address. With increasing pressure from the regulator to keep accurate and accessible records, relying on manual processes can lead to inefficiency and costly remediation or fines.

“A relevant person’s record keeping procedures and controls must enable them to satisfy, within a reasonable time frame, any enquiries from competent authorities.

Furthermore, it is only through adequate record keeping that relevant persons can demonstrate compliance with AML/CFT legislation.”


Clear and quantifiable benefits

We estimate that firms using Proofdesk see a benefit of £89 to £504 for each customer relationship on their books by:

  • Saving time on CRA and onboarding

  • Automating the Statistical Return

  • Unlocking billable hours

  • Avoiding remediation costs

  • Reducing their likelihood of penalties

Additionally, by using Proofdesk firms can:

Be Inspection Ready, Anytime

Confidently present the regulator with accurate and up-to-date evidence.

Accelerate Growth

Unlock business growth by onboarding customers more efficiently.

Maintain Consistency

Treat every customer relationship consistently and in line with your stated policies.

Strengthen Assurance
