The CRS Distinction

Natively founded on ISO 31000, ISO 19600 and APRA SPG 220.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

CRS Certus is a governance, risk and compliance (GRC) platform designed for regulated organisations. Built by compliance practitioners, it brings obligations, risks, controls, workflows, incidents, breaches, complaints and reporting into one integrated platform.

Unlike fragmented compliance tools, CRS Certus creates a clear line of sight between regulatory obligations, operational controls and Board reporting, supporting connected, evidence-based governance across the organisation.

Many compliance platforms operate primarily as workflow and record-keeping tools. CRS Certus was developed by governance, risk and compliance professionals with experience across ASIC, APRA-regulated entities and complex financial services organisations.

The platform is built around a practical governance model:

  • Obligations define the requirements
  • Risks & Controls define the response
  • Workflows & Registers drive execution
  • Reporting & Insights provide the evidence

This creates a connected, evidence-based governance framework, rather than a collection of disconnected compliance tools and registers.

CRS Certus includes a comprehensive suite of governance, risk and compliance (GRC) modules, including:

  • Regulatory obligations management
  • Risk and controls management
  • Policies and governance registers
  • Workflows and task automation
  • Incidents and breach management
  • Complaints management
  • Questionnaires and attestations
  • Compliance calendars
  • Personal dealing compliance
  • ASIC and APRA reportability testing
  • Board and executive reporting and insights

Modules can be configured to reflect an organisation’s regulatory obligations, governance framework and operating requirements.

Yes. CRS Certus includes Associations Mapping, linking regulatory obligations directly to controls, workflows, owners and supporting evidence.

This provides a clear line of sight across compliance coverage, helping organisations identify:

  • Which controls support each obligation
  • Who owns and is responsible for each control
  • Where compliance gaps may exist
  • What evidence demonstrates compliance

The result is greater governance transparency, stronger oversight and improved audit readiness.

Yes. CRS Certus is designed for regulated financial services environments, including AFSL holders, investment managers, responsible entities, superannuation trustees and APRA-regulated organisations.

The platform supports governance and compliance across:

  • AFSL obligations
  • Risk and controls management
  • Incidents, breaches and reportable situations
  • Complaints management
  • Personal dealing compliance
  • AML/CTF compliance
  • Board and executive oversight

Implementation time depends on the organisation’s size, complexity and governance requirements. It begins with the CRS Certus Foundation & Set Up Package, where the platform is configured around your governance framework, organisational structure, obligations, controls and reporting requirements.

Implementation focuses on embedding governance into day-to-day operations, not simply deploying technology.

Ongoing support can then be provided by CRS consultants or managed internally by your team.

Yes. CRS Certus includes a configurable workflow engine that automates governance and compliance processes across the organisation.

Workflows can support:

  • Complaints management
  • Incidents and breaches
  • Conflicts of interest
  • Attestations and approvals
  • Register updates
  • Control testing
  • Regulatory reporting activities

This reduces manual administration while creating a structured, traceable and auditable record of actions, responsibilities and outcomes.

Yes. CRS Certus provides reporting and dashboard capabilities that give Boards, executives and compliance teams clear visibility across governance, risk and compliance.

Reporting can include:

  • Board reporting packs
  • Compliance and risk reports
  • Control testing results
  • Incident and breach summaries
  • Regulatory reporting outputs
  • Audit-ready evidence packs

This provides leadership with a clear line of sight across governance, risk and compliance, supporting stronger oversight, assurance and regulatory readiness.

CRS Certus is backed by the Compliance Risk Services (CRS) advisory team. Organisations can use the platform independently or engage CRS specialists for implementation, governance design, compliance reviews, regulatory support and ongoing optimisation.

This combination of technology and specialist expertise enables organisations to strengthen governance capability while retaining the level of support that suits their business.
