Compliance On Call has only been in existance for six weeks at the time of writing and already has most of November's target booked, with some bookings for December as well. Discounted visits are only available until the end of December and although the target allows for some extra visits to be booked in the gaps, at the present rate I should be fully booked before the end of September.
This should be a good enough reason for anyone to get in touch sooner rather than later, but something happened recently that makes the point even more pertinent.
Before Compliance On Call was up and running, I gave some informal advice to an IP. He did not book a visit and nothing more was heard until last week, when he needed one particular file reviewing urgently. The cost of that one review is likely to be almost as much as a full day's visit. If instead, he had booked a visit when he first heard about Compliance On Call, even if he had limited it to a one day 'taster' he would have had two or three files reviewed and would have picked up plenty of relevant action points. With the benefit of that visit and the checklists he would have received, he probably could have reviewed the problem file himself, if it had not been picked on the visit, and just raised any queries informally over the phone at no extra cost. Overall, he would have benefitted far more for much the same outlay.
The time will come when Compliance On Call will actively market IP's by telephone, but at present, with work flooding in and the discount in operation, you should get in touch quickly to stand any chance of securing the lower rate. After December, Compliance On Call will still offer the best insolvency compliance specialist service, with that service specifically designed to fit the needs of your practice and will be worth every penny of the standard rate. However, you will have missed the opportunity to correct any deficiencies and build evidence of better compliance that you would have had if you had booked now. If you get a call from your regulator in January, warning you of a February visit, we can still help, but it would be far more effective to have put your house in order before they even phone and be able to demonstrate to the monitors on their visit that the new systems are working and addressing the issues Compliance On Call had found.
