Updated 18 October 2021
Applies to England
1. Accessing the Compliance Audit System and managing audit users
Provider users who already have an Investment Management System (IMS) account will be able to log in as long as they have been given the appropriate authority by their security administrator. Independent Auditors will need a user account specific to each provider they are auditing.
1.1 If you바카라 사이트ve forgotten your password or User ID
You can reset passwords from the sign in screen by clicking on the 바카라 사이트I바카라 사이트ve forgotten my User ID바카라 사이트 or the password link. An email will be sent enabling the user to reset their password. This email is valid for 24 hours.

2. Create a Provider Compliance Audit user
In order to create a Provider Compliance Audit user, the provider바카라 사이트s IMS Security Administrator must assign the 바카라 사이트RP Compliance Audit Provider바카라 사이트 authority to the user바카라 사이트s IMS account in the IMS Security Module.
The Compliance Audit Provider Authority enables a user to view and amend provider contact details in the Compliance Audit module, and perform Compliance Audit tasks such as creating, certifying and deleting Independent Auditors and submitting provider responses to the Independent Auditor바카라 사이트s findings. Please ensure that only 바카라 사이트Authorities바카라 사이트 are given to the user not 바카라 사이트Roles바카라 사이트. Assigning 바카라 사이트Roles바카라 사이트 will prevent them from accessing the system.
It is also possible to set up users with view-only access (to view findings, responses, etc. but not make any changes or perform tasks). This access is granted by assigning the 바카라 사이트RP Compliance Audit Provider View-only바카라 사이트 authority. Please consider providing view-only access for any users who do not need to perform system actions. Again, no 바카라 사이트Roles바카라 사이트 should be assigned to a user with the Compliance Audit Provider authority
Please be aware that logging into the Compliance Audit System as the Security Administrator will bring up a message stating 바카라 사이트you do not have any IMS services바카라 사이트.
3. View and modify provider contact details
The main contacts details for the provider are managed from the 바카라 사이트Provider Contact Details바카라 사이트 screen. This can be accessed through the dashboard screen.
It is important that all of the contact details in the screen are kept up to date. In particular, if the Compliance Audit Lead contact leaves their post or is temporarily unavailable, it is important that an alternative contact is entered in their place. Please note there is an optional field for Secondary Compliance Audit lead. Completing both Primary Compliance Audit Lead and Secondary Compliance Audit Lead will reduce the risk of the provider missing important communications regarding the Compliance Audit programme.
It is recommended that all the Compliance Audit Leads have an IMS user account with the 바카라 사이트RP Compliance Audit Provider바카라 사이트 authority. Where the lead contact is unavailable and there is no replacement member of staff with a Compliance Audit user ID, the provider Security Administrator should create a new user.
