Croesus Sponsors IIAC/IIROC CRM2 Conference

28 Apr Croesus Sponsors IIAC/IIROC CRM2 Conference

Croesus was a sponsor of the Client Relationship Model (“CRM2”) Conference jointly organised by the Investment Industry Association of Canada (“IIAC”) and the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (“IIROC”).

Karen Roger, partner at Langlois Kronström Desjardins, and André Fok Kam, consultant to the securities industry, discussed impacts of the new rule on client relationship and actions to take in order to be ready for the new rule implementation.

The four core principles of the CRM2 are better relationship disclosure; improved management and disclosure of conflicts of interest; enhanced account suitability; and more transparent account performance reporting.

As part of its dedication to support the investment industry on market advancement initiatives, Croesus is an IIAC affiliate member. Moreover, in order to collaborate in solving timely industry challenges, Croesus is part of the IIAC CRM2 Implementation Working Group to identify and solve CRM2 implementation problems, and is also part of the IIAC Market Value Working Group to review reporting requirements in detail.

Joining IIAC allows Croesus to better understand and support CRM2, share its expertise and ensure that its product will help its clients to better meet the new compliance requirements.
