Audit-ready compliance platform

Attrace is the platform regulated firms use to file FCA, PRA and HMRC returns — and the platform their auditors use to verify those filings. AI prepares the data, approval chains enforce governance, and every action lands on a cryptographically-verified audit trail.

The promise

From fourteen days to five.

A quarterly return today means manual extraction, spreadsheet mapping that breaks every quarter, and approval chains buried in email. Attrace turns the same return into a five-day workflow — prepared by AI, approved through governed chains, and evidenced automatically as it happens.

Intelligence

AI that knows your forms.

Import a CSV or connect a system and Attrace maps your data to the regulatory form — field by field, with confidence scores you can interrogate. Anomalies get flagged before a reviewer ever sees them.

  • Smart field mapping from CSV or API to the live form
  • Anomaly detection — AUM jumps, unusual ratios, missing fields
  • Regulatory change detection when the FCA updates a form
  • Pre-built templates for FCA COBS, PRA Risk Return, HMRC VAT and EBA

Workflow

Approval that holds up.

Multi-stage chains route each return from preparer to reviewer to CFO — with conditional escalation, biometric sign-off, and nothing living in anyone's inbox.

  • Preparer → Reviewer → CFO/MLRO → Submission, enforced
  • Conditional routing — AUM over £500m triggers CFO escalation
  • Mobile approval with Face ID and digital signature
  • Scheduled recurring submissions, never a missed deadline

Trust

Cryptographically verified.

Every action — import, mapping, review, approval, submission — lands on an immutable ledger. Each entry carries a SHA-256 hash chained to the one before it, with RFC 3161 trusted timestamps. Your auditor verifies it themselves.

  • Tamper-evident hash chain across the full submission lifecycle
  • Legally admissible trusted timestamps on every entry
  • Time-scoped, read-only auditor access that expires automatically
  • One-click audit proof export — PDF for work papers, JSON for systems
