Where SkillProof fits.

SkillProof organises editable workforce records, supporting documents, dates and internal follow-up. It does not provide regulatory or legal advice, verify the FCA Register automatically, measure customer outcomes, certify adviser competence, confirm that an SPS or membership is valid, or guarantee compliance. The firm remains responsible for deciding which requirements apply and for completing its regulatory checks and decisions.

Financial Advice questions, answered clearly.

What records can SkillProof track for financial advice firms?

SkillProof can track adviser qualification records, professional memberships, annual SPS records, dated manual FCA Register or Directory checks, CPD, competence, policy acknowledgements and role-based training selected by the firm.

Does SkillProof check the FCA Register automatically?

No. The firm completes the FCA Register or Directory check outside SkillProof, then records the check type, date, reviewer, outcome, supporting document and next review date.

Is an annual SPS kept separate from membership?

Yes. SkillProof keeps an annual Statement of Professional Standing as its own record rather than treating professional membership as a substitute.

Can SkillProof track CPD for financial advisers?

Yes. Financial advice firms can record structured and unstructured CPD classifications, activity, hours, notes and supporting records. The firm selects the applicable scheme and review period.

How can SkillProof support Consumer Duty governance?

SkillProof can keep relevant training, policy acknowledgements, competence records and development actions together as workforce records. It does not measure customer outcomes or replace customer MI.

Which plan supports Regulatory Monitor?

Regulatory Monitor is available through controlled rollout on Professional and Enterprise. It provides daily controlled monitoring of selected official websites after SkillProof enables it for the organisation; an authorised person still reviews every supported change. Growth includes the core training, CPD, professional-record, competence and Audit Pack workflows available within that plan.

Does SkillProof replace a compliance consultant or regulatory adviser?

No. SkillProof organises workforce records, dates and follow-up. It does not provide regulatory or legal advice, certify adviser competence or guarantee compliance. Firms should use current FCA material and obtain professional advice where appropriate.
