What We Do

---

Vorlaufer Compliance (Pty) Ltd ("Vorlaufer Compliance") provides expert, independent, focused, and customised, compliance, and risk management, services to South African registered financial institutions. It also services non-South African financial institutions that want to participate in the South African financial services industry. Vorlaufer Compliance is a FAIS Act registered compliance practice for all licence categories.

The services are to function as an independent, external, compliance officer, either to provide compliance support services to the internal compliance function, or to be the compliance function, including regulatory compliance that is applicable, or is likely to become applicable, to the Client, in terms of financial sector laws, and other applicable legislation. We are committed to providing services of an extremely high quality, through a small, and uncomplicated, business.

We recommend a three-phase approach (due diligence review/gap analysis; remedial action/gap resolution; ongoing compliance services), to assist clients to identify, improve, and then maintain a good level of compliance. We provide services as the registered compliance function of clients, and provide compliance support services to internal compliance functions, which are often under-resourced, and over-loaded. We also assist with aspects such as special projects, evaluations, due diligence reviews, which are important, but clients may put aside, due to internal resourcing constraints.
