Resources & Templates
This page brings the practical layer together: checklists, template packs, evidence-index structures, reporting formats, governance logs, and operational reference materials. The goal is simple — reduce unnecessary friction, improve submission quality, and stop avoidable delays caused by messy pack assembly. Basically, less scavenger hunt, more controlled paperwork.
Template library
The packs below are structured as practical starting points for applicants and licensees. Final documents should always match the real operating model, not just the neatness level of the template.
Application submission checklist
A structured intake checklist covering entity data, category scope, governance, AML/CFT, safeguarding, technology, outsourcing, and supporting attachments.
Evidence index template
A master evidence schedule with document ID, title, owner, version, date, category mapping, and supporting notes for faster review and cleaner clarifications.
Governance action log
A meeting tracker for actions, owners, deadlines, escalation level, and closure evidence so governance stops being memory-based.
AML/CFT control pack
A practical structure for risk assessment references, alert ownership, escalation points, reporting logs, and periodic review fields.
Incident & breach log
A standardized format for capturing incident date, severity, impact, containment, root cause, remediation owner, and closure evidence.
Important
Templates are only useful when they reflect actual operations. Copy-pasting a pretty format into the wrong control environment is still wrong. It just looks better while being wrong.
A clean evidence pack should show stable naming, version control, ownership, document purpose, and cross-reference IDs that tie directly into the submission narrative or evidence index.
- Use a consistent document ID format.
- Include owner, date, version, and status fields.
- Map each item to category scope or control theme.
- Keep a single master index rather than fragmented file lists.
These formats are useful for first-time applicants, existing licensees, internal control owners, registered agents, governance teams, and anyone trying to stop documentation from becoming a loose pile of stress.
- Applicants preparing initial packs
- Licensees refreshing ongoing obligations evidence
- Registered agents coordinating submissions
- Internal teams building cleaner governance and reporting routines
