Automated
Compliance Solutions (ACS), the leader in compliance risk management
software-as-a-service, today announced a partnership with Fusion
Business Group (Fusion), a provider of technology consulting and
business level advisory services to alternative investment advisors.
Fusion will provide ACS’ Compliance Risk Management customers with
infrastructure, consulting and technology services.
“Fusion conducted a rigorous evaluation of compliance risk management
solutions and selected ACS Compliance Risk Management to recommend to
our customers,” said Kirk
Johnson, Fusion’s CEO. “The combination of ACS and Fusion’s technology
consulting advisory services, hardware and software procurement,
security services, hosting services, and compliance advisory services
make this the leading solution for investment advisor’s who wish to
avoid the risks and reduce cost of compliance.”
Responding to changes in both the SEC examination process and investor
due diligence reviews, investment managers now regard compliance risk
management as a mission-critical function that cannot be maintained
appropriately without a robust technology infrastructure.
Trum
Van Middlesworth, ACS Managing Director, explains that, “Compliance
professionals must use technology to meet the documentation and
accountability requirements of the SEC, the transparency and access to
information requirements of investors, and the compliance functionality
and personal productivity that their firm’s principals demand. ACS and
Fusion will deliver a complete, tailored solution for compliance
professionals who must focus on managing compliance risk, not
technology.”
