Data aggregation from members for compliance checks

Purpose

1. Aggregate data from association members to conduct scheduled or ad-hoc compliance checks for regulatory authorities.

2. Centralize submissions including certifications, documentation, and operational updates for industry-wide standard adherence.

3. Automate validation, normalization, storage, and alerting on incomplete/missing member compliance data.

4. Enable regulatory officers to access dashboards/reports reflecting member statuses in real time.

5. Ensure traceability and audit standings for all association members with structured multi-level data capture.

6. Integrate member data directly with government or oversight bodies via secured channels as required.

7. Reduce manual intervention in data follow-ups and cross-checking cycles.

8. Enforce standard operating procedures and escalate exceptions automatically.

2. Regulatory update/requirement change from oversight authority.

3. Manual initiation from compliance officers.

4. Submission of new/renewed member documents.

5. Detection of missing or outdated records flagged by system.
