Initiated in 2012 the team utilises a combination of e-mail and SharePoint to ensure that Front Office staff provide evidence that they have executed business controls, as set out in internal policies and procedures.

CB&S is seeking to migrate away from the existing e-mail / SharePoint process environment to a more robust infrastructure model, using the Global Supervisory System (‘GSS’), a workflow / document repository tool.
