This included new fee disclosure fields and the ability to assign service packages to specific client segments; and new reports and reporting filters for client opt-in and other services.
Commenting on the changes, Macquarie Financial Planning Software head, Kirk Pitman said they were intended to help IFA businesses to be more efficient.
“Within the current environment of regulatory change, technology can play an important role in supporting advisers,” he said.
