The GIPS standards are frequently changing. New editions of the GIPS standards are released periodically and, in the interim, new guidance is often issued through Guidance Statements and answers to Q&As published by CFA Institute. It can be challenging to keep up, even for firms that have claimed compliance for a long period of time – including firms that receive GIPS verification. Guardian Performance Solutions can help ease concerns about the accuracy of your firm’s claim of compliance with the GIPS standards through our GIPS Compliance Assessment services.
Guardian’s GIPS Compliance Assessment services typically include:
- Conducting detailed analysis related to the firm’s existing GIPS compliance program in order to identify any areas of weakness or that fall short of industry best practices.
- Providing consultation, recommendations, and training related to all aspects of GIPS compliance, including addressing any recent changes and how they apply to your firm.
- Delivering a comprehensive written report detailing testing conducted, findings and recommendations for improvement.
- Helping to implement desired changes to a degree not possible for a verifier who must remain independent.
