Where SkillProof fits.

Your firm decides which requirements apply and completes its regulatory checks. SkillProof does not provide regulatory or legal advice, verify the FCA Register automatically, certify competence or guarantee compliance.

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 covers CPD and competence?

Growth includes CPD, professional registration records, configurable reminders, standard Reviews and Audit Packs. The dedicated Competence workflow, including formal assessments and competence decisions, requires Professional or Enterprise. Custom or multiple CPD schemes also start on Professional.

Which plan supports Regulatory Monitor?

Regulatory Monitor is available through controlled rollout on Professional and Enterprise after SkillProof enables it for the organisation. It monitors selected official sources; an authorised person reviews and approves any supported change. It is separate from the CPD, professional-record and Audit Pack workflows included on Growth.

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.
