Without Complyfirst
Endless Excel work – manual data pulls from multiple systems- Hunting for guidance – Schemas and guidance buried across docs
- No real-time validation – errors only surface after portal upload
- Double the work – proprietary vendor files don’t match CBI, doubling work
- Manual chasing – email chains delay sign-off and cause version confusion
- Weak governance – unclear approvals and no audit trail
- Deadline-day stress – left without expert support when it matters most
