COSA

Platform overview

Everything your compliance team needs from a call

COSA turns each finished call into a transcript, an assessment against your rules, evidence for every verdict and the MI your board asks for — without changing how your advisers work.

What changes

The difference when every call is reviewed

From the compliance team to the board, the benefits compound once you stop relying on a sample.

  1. 01

    Coverage you can prove

    Every in-scope call is assessed, and every call you exclude is logged with the reason — so there's no blind spot you can't account for.

    Assessed: every in-scope call · Not analysed: each with a reason

  2. 02

    Lower regulatory risk

    Missed disclosures and unhandled vulnerability surface within minutes of the call, not months later in a complaint or a file review.

    Failed rules emailed to the people you choose

  3. 03

    QA in minutes, not hours

    Reviewers go straight to the flagged rules, with the quote and the reasoning, instead of listening to calls end to end.

    Quote · explanation · confidence, for every verdict

  4. 04

    Stronger advice conversations

    Outcomes by adviser and the rules most often missed show exactly where coaching will make a difference.

    Outcomes by adviser · most-missed rules

  5. 05

    Better customer outcomes

    Vulnerable or confused customers are identified while there's still time to follow up and put things right.

    Health · life events · resilience · capability

  6. 06

    Audit-ready by default

    Verdicts, evidence, overrides and reports are kept together — and a client's whole file exports in one pack.

Capabilities

Transcription

Calls become a searchable record of what was actually said

Finished calls arrive from your dialler automatically, or are uploaded from any system. Each becomes a speaker-labelled transcript with topics mapped to the moment they came up — with spoken amounts shown in pounds.
  • Speaker-labelled transcripts, usually within minutes of the call ending
  • Topics timeline that jumps straight to the quote
  • Each call classified — fact find, follow-up, initial contact — so the right rules run
  • Uncertain calls go to a triage queue for a person to confirm

Transcript

  1. 03:18Client

    It's mainly for the roof, and to help the grandchildren a little.

  2. 03:31Adviser

    So home improvements first, then gifting — is that the right order?

  3. 05:26Client

    Honestly, I've not slept properly since my husband passed in March.

Your rules

Assessed against the rules your firm is held to

Not a generic template. Your compliance team writes the rules and decides how each is judged — and which call types it applies to.
  • Verbatim — exact wording that must be said
  • Non-verbatim — topics that must be covered, however they're phrased
  • Vulnerability, objection handling and document checks
  • Change a rule and reassess calls when your standards move

Rules

  • VerbatimRecording disclosure read to the client
  • Non-verbatimInterest roll-up and effect on the estate explained
  • VulnerabilitySigns of vulnerability identified and handled
  • ObjectionsConcerns about inheritance addressed in substance
  • DocumentsFigures discussed match the KFI on file

Evidence

Every verdict shows its working

Each rule gets a verdict, a plain-English explanation, the quoted evidence from the transcript and a confidence score — so a reviewer can check it in seconds and stand behind it.
  • Passed, Needs review or Failed — with the reason
  • The call recording sits beside the results, so a reviewer can listen before signing off
  • Authorised reviewers can override a result; the original verdict is kept

    The client disclosed a recent bereavement. The adviser acknowledged it but continued without checking they were comfortable to proceed or offering to involve a family member.

Vulnerability

Vulnerability, caught in context

COSA reads the whole conversation for signs of health, life-event, resilience or capability vulnerability — and assesses whether the adviser noticed and adapted.
  • Bereavement, illness, difficulty understanding, or someone answering for the client
  • Standards that apply to every call — like not rushing or pressuring — always assessed
  • Flags go straight to the review queue

Alerts

A failed rule reaches the right inbox — nobody has to go looking

Admins set alert triggers by rule type, for every adviser or particular ones. When a rule fails, the people you choose get an email with the rule, the passage from the call, a summary and recommended next steps.
  • Separate triggers for verbatim, non-verbatim, document, vulnerability and objection rules
  • Organisation-wide, or for named advisers
  • Recommended next steps drafted for each failure
  • A link straight to the compliance check

Summaries & COSA Assistant

Less admin for advisers, instant answers for everyone

Every call gets a summary, key figures and next steps, each marked as quoted from the call or paraphrased. Ask the COSA Assistant anything about a client's calls: every answer cites the passage it came from, and “Listen to this moment” plays the recording from there.

What has this client been told about interest roll-up?

Coverage

Decide what's reviewed — and prove what isn't

Your call-selection policy sets which calls are assessed: direction, minimum and maximum length, answered calls and call types. Everything excluded is still recorded with the reason, so you can always show what your monitoring covered.

  • Evidence

    Manual sampling
    Reviewer notes and recollection
    With COSA
    The quote, an explanation and a confidence score for every verdict

    Manual sampling
    Weeks later — at file review, or in a complaint
    With COSA
    Usually within minutes of the call ending
  • MI

    Manual sampling
    Assembled by hand from a sample
    With COSA
    Compliance rate by call type and adviser, drawn from every call
