Tremark FSQS supplier qualified to financial sector

Tremark Associates are FSQS Accredited.

FSQS is a supplier qualification system for the financial sector.

As the regulated environment becomes more complex, FSQS provides a standard and simple mechanism for collecting and managing supplier compliance assurance information across the sector.

FSQS is a common register of standardised, validated, structured and comprehensive vendor/third party information.  A risk management tool that objectively assesses potential vendor risks, proportionally to products and services being provided and across areas of compliance.  An efficient and effective means for third parties to provide their information to multiple banks and insurance clients.
