FATCA Handover & Certification Support

We transition your FATCA reporting into business-as-usual, provide the operating handbook, train staff, stand up metrics/KRIs, and support the Responsible Officer (RO) through certification with a practical evidence pack and brief check.

Who it’s for

  • Reporting entities that completed Go-Live & Submission and need a clean BAU handover.
  • Teams preparing for RO certification who want a reviewer-ready evidence pack and concise briefing.
  • Institutions coordinating FATCA with QI and Internal Audit expectations on documentation and KRIs.

How we work

  1. 1) Handover planning

    Agree scope, roles, and dates; align documentation list and acceptance criteria with stakeholders/IA.

  2. 2) Documentation & training

    Finalize handbook, checklists, and templates; deliver role-based trainings and quick reference guides.

  3. 3) Evidence assembly

    Compile control/operation proofs, reconciliations, submissions, and corrections evidence into a single pack.

  4. 4) RO brief & support

    Run the RO briefing; provide portal wording drafts; respond to follow-ups with targeted extracts.
