Overview
Operational Oversight & Audit
Around the world, regulatory pressure is increasing with fund administrators and insurers are under greater scrutiny than ever before. A common theme amongst errors is inadequate systems and controls to support oversight and governance for outsourced fund administration.
InvestPro Fund Pricing Oversight supports life and pensions companies in building a culture of transparency that is demanded of our industry today. A risk control centre for back-office and outsourced functions, InvestPro provides an automated unit price validation framework where exceptions are identified, swiftly categorised, and corrective action is recommended and reviewed according to the severity and impact of the exception.
