There is a compliance problem.
- Compliance with the letter-of-the-law is no longer the mark.
- Commissioner Hayne in the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry has defined the standard to which companies will now be held; the ever-evolving consumer-led standard of “fairness”.
- You need to know if your products, services and conduct are going to be deemed fair by consumers; against their expectations, not yours.
- CertFair achieves this knowledge for you.
THE NEED IS NOW
Why be fair?
OUR POINT OF VIEW
Being consciously fair leads to consciously building trust.
Opportunity emerges and consumer and regulator trust is deepened when organisations understand and bring to life their intrinsic role in building a safer and trusting society; by playing fair.
Understanding the purpose of your organisation, the societal benefit it brings to all stakeholders, and then building the mindset and systems of a purpose-led culture is the key to being the competitive consumer led “trusted” and “fair” organisation you need and want to be.
Our Purpose is to help you build trust in your insurance and financial services company.
Our Mission is to go beyond compliance to aid organisations to be “fair” in the eyes and experience of customers, regulators and the community.
Fairness is a way of being that your customers experience.
We assess fairness by identifying differences between your view of what is fair and your customers’ expectations as to fairness. It’s a “current state” reflection of your culture, products and services in the experience of your customers and in the view of the regulators.
CERTFAIR AUDITS FAIRNESS USING EXISTING COMPLIANCE SYSTEMS. IT IS A PROCESS DESIGNED THROUGH THE UNIQUE
COMBINATION OF ITS FOUNDERS’ VALUES AND PURPOSE, COMMERCIAL EXPERIENCE AND INDUSTRY WISDOM.

HOW CAN CERTFAIR HELP?
MEASURE CURRENT STATE
We provide a point-in-time view of an organisation’s inherent fairness, identifying areas where attention is required.
EDUCATE ON BENCHMARKS
To become the organisation you aspire to be. The desired future state.
We compare where you are to where you want to be.
We provide you with external objective data with which to measure fairness against.
PROVIDE A ROADMAP TO BEING FAIR
We show you the major steps to shift the focus from Compliance Process to Customer Fairness.
We provide niche services tailored to your specific needs rather than a ‘’one size fits all approach’’
Using your existing risk & compliance framework we enable you to keep pace with ever moving community expectations.
CERTIFY THE MEASURE OF FAIRNESS
Following a CertFair audit and the closure of identified gaps, CertFair will certify for 12 months that your processes are aligned with the standard of ‘fairness’ as viewed and publicly stated by ASIC and AFCA.
