For Ontario brokerages

What changes when the file evidences itself.

Three scenarios from the side of the broker of record, the salesperson, and the brokerage in front of a RECO inspector. Each maps to a Complyant module — not a marketing pitch.

The broker of record

FINTRAC obligations are scattered across spreadsheets, training records, and lawyer correspondence. You can't tell at a glance whether the brokerage is in a defensible position.

The FINTRAC posture page is the running score. Identification, training, and prescribed review each get a slice. Highest-leverage gaps surface first with the point impact attached.

FINTRAC s.6.3Client identification workflow per contact
FINTRAC s.7Receipt of funds + large-cash records
FINTRAC s.9.6Suspicious transaction reporting handoff

The salesperson onboarding a new listing

REBBA disclosure templates live in three folders. The wrong version goes out, the broker of record signs it anyway, and a year later the listing brokerage is on the other end of a finding.

Disclosure templates are scoped to the parties on the transaction, time-stamped on signature, and re-issued automatically when representation changes. The listing can't advance with an outstanding disclosure.

The brokerage facing a RECO inspection

Inspection prep was three weeks of pulling records, emailing the lawyer, and hoping the spreadsheet matched the trust account. Findings were inevitable.

The audit timeline is the export. Filter by entity, actor, or action; the resulting view is ready for handoff. Real estate trust ledger reconciles to the regulator's expected format.
