The Company Profile for Financial Institutions (FI) in Kotive Compliance has received a significant update. It has been expanded by more than 100 new properties, ordered into 3 sections, namely:

  1. Company info
  2. Accountable Persons
  3. FI License Functions

The properties that can be entered, captured and uploaded range from listing the products the FI is authorised to sell, to uploading official company documentation and listing the various Persons responsible for functions within the FI, such as complaints, compliance with licensing conditions and the POPIA Information Officer.

The FI Company Profile acts as the single “source-of-truth” where all the FI’s license functions are documented and kept record of.

Seven new registers

Seven new registers have been added to suppliment selections of the Company Profile. The registers are:

  • Debt Councillors
  • Foreign or Local Regulators
  • Industry bodies or unions
  • Mandates
  • Meetings
  • Outsourced services
  • Professional Indemnity claims

These registers can be updated and maintained separately. They are listed under “Registers” in the main menu.

When updating the FI’s Company Information, information from these registers are dynamically pulled-in and displayed as options that can be indicated as and when applicable.

Example of how registers form part of the FI's Company Information

The FI keeps track of all its mandates in the "Mandates" register.


In the "FI License Functions" section in "Company information" there are 2 properties that pertain to Mandates; one related to fund or hedge fund management and the other to Private Equity funds. Under each question or property, you can indicate which mandates are specifically relevant to it.


Another example used 5 times in the "Company information" is the existing "Product suppliers" register that is used in questions or properties related to Short-term Insurance Underwriting, management of segregated deposit accounts systems, Binder holders, Funeral Administrators and reinsurance intermediary.
