Gwg examination

Additional feature to the gwg check for compliance with due diligence requirements

The GwG audit assists you in complying with the due diligence obligations in accordance with the revised Money Laundering Act. It guides employees step by step through the audit process and documents all decisions automatically. In this way, you create uniform processes, reduce administrative hours and ensure comprehensible compliance documentation.

  • Guided audit process for the systematic fulfilment of the GwG due diligence obligations
  • Automatic logging of all responses, changes and processing steps
  • Seamless integration with KYC auditing for end-to-end compliance processes

How it works

Structured execution of the GwG audit

The additional feature helps you to carry out legally required GwG audits directly within a project or case. A separate entry is created for each audit, which guides the responsible employees step by step through the decision-making process. The structured question logic helps to process all required due diligence in a complete and consistent manner.

Traceable documentation of all decisions

Each question answered is automatically tracked with user, date and time. If answers are modified during the course of the process, the application also documents these changes and adjusts the order of processing accordingly. This means that it is always clear how the check result came about.

Binding conclusion of the audit

After completing all the necessary verification steps, you confirm that the GwG examination has been carried out correctly. This confirmation can only be made once and prevents subsequent changes at the conclusion of the examination. Additional Information or remarks can be documented independently.

Integration with KYC check

The GwG check can be combined with the additional KYC feature. If the check shows that a GwG obligation exists, a KYC check can be created immediately. This allows legal identification and due diligence obligations to be processed in a continuous process without media disruption.

Central overview of all examinations

All performed GwG audits are assigned to the respective project or case. There, among other things, the creation date, the responsible user and the result of the audit can be seen. In addition, a central overview of all GwG audits is available, via which completed audits can be viewed and tracked at any time.

Standardized compliance processes

With the GwG audit, you establish a uniform process for the implementation of legal requirements. Guide processing, automatic documentation and centralized management of all audits help you to implement compliance requirements efficiently and reliably meet internal and external verification obligations.

The scope of features ranges from collision checking to mandate management and deadline monitoring to individual invoicing processes, debt management and profit distribution.

In short, all typical processes that occur in a law firm on a daily basis are mapped.

As the ideal foundation for successful law firm management, Vertec helps you increase your productivity by providing you with just the tool you need to efficiently organize your law firm, digitize workflows and ultimately ensure smooth case and mandate management.

Vertec adapts to your processes – not the other way around.

A software for law firms is a specialized software for lawyers that optimizes the everyday work of the legal professionals. For example, it continuously maps processes and thus creates transparency in your daily business. It focuses primarily on mandate-related and billing-relevant tasks.

Typical features include:

  • File and Mandate Management
  • Collision checks
  • KYC
  • Time tracking and recording
  • Deadline monitoring
  • Fee billing (e.g. via RVG in Germany)
  • Debt management
  • Document management
  • Invoicing and controlling

Law firm management, on the other hand, describes the holistic organization and management of a law firm – in terms of legal, business administration and staff. A modern law firm software is part of efficient law firm management and contributes to smooth work.

The areas of law firm management also include:

  • Organization of workflows and processes within the law firm
  • Planning of staff on cases and mandates
  • Controlling and analyzing relevant KPIs (such as turnover/billables, capacity utilization, profitability)
  • Client retention
  • Strategy and law firm business development

Law firm management is therefore to be considered in a more comprehensive way and goes beyond the purely legal features of a law firm software. Law firm management is the strategic and organizational approach that sees the law firm as a business enterprise that needs to be run economically successfully on the long term. Law firm software, however, is much more the operative tool for your daily work.
