Policy Gap Analysis

Real-time review of your policies

Kalipso continuously checks your policies against the regulations that apply to you, flags exactly where you’re exposed, and proposes the compliant wording to fix it.

AML/CFT Policy — UBO Identification

Analyzing

Where the customer acts within a fiducie (Art. 2011 Civil Code), the beneficial owner is identified by role under Art. R.561-3-0 CMF.

Gap identified

Where no beneficial owner can be identified, the senior managing official of the fiduciaire is recorded as the beneficial owner by default (fallback under Art. R.561-1 CMF).

Suggested fix

Where no beneficial owner of a fiducie can be identified under Art. R.561-3-0 CMF, the firm shall terminate the relationship under Art. L.561-8 CMF. The senior-management fallback applies only to sociétés.

How it works

From a clause to a compliant redline

  1. 01

    Scan against the obligations in scope

    Every clause is checked against the regulations that actually bind your firm — not a generic checklist.

  2. 02

    Pinpoint the gap

    The exact wording that breaches an obligation is flagged, tied to the article it fails — not a vague risk score.

  3. 03

    Draft the compliant redline

    You get editable wording that satisfies the law, with the rationale and a link to source — ready to defend.

The same gap in full, as it appears for review — with the proposed redline:

AML/CFT Internal Policy — UBO Identification

3.4 Identification of Beneficial Owners — Fiducies

Analyzed

Where the customer acts within the framework of a fiducie within the meaning of Art. 2011 of the Civil Code, or any comparable foreign trust-like arrangement, the beneficial owner shall be identified by role in accordance with Art. R.561-3-0 CMF: the constituant(s), fiduciaire(s), bénéficiaire(s), and any tiers protecteur. Art. R.561-3-0 contains no senior management fallback provision.

Gap identified

Where no beneficial owner of a fiducie can be identified under the above criteria, the natural person(s) holding the position of senior managing official(s) of the fiduciaire shall be recorded as the beneficial owner by default, in accordance with the fallback procedure under Art. R.561-1 CMF.

Suggested fix

Where no beneficial owner of a fiducie can be identified under Art. R.561-3-0 CMF, the firm shall not enter into a business relationship or shall terminate the existing relationship in accordance with Art. L.561-8 CMF. The senior management fallback is defined under Art. R.561-1 CMF and applies only to corporate entities (sociétés). Art. R.561-3-0 CMF does not permit any fallback to senior managing officials for fiducies.

Art. R.561-1 CMF (senior management fallback) applies exclusively to sociétés. Art. R.561-3-0 CMF governs fiducies and contains no fallback — failure to identify the UBO must strictly result in refusal of the business relationship under Art. L.561-8 CMF.

In all cases, the firm shall additionally identify any natural person who directly or indirectly holds more than 25% of the assets, rights, or securities included in the patrimoine fiduciaire, per Art. R.561-3-0 CMF.

For each gap, you get

The issue

A prioritised list of gaps, each tied to the specific obligation it breaches — not a vague risk flag.

The fix

Editable redlines with compliant wording — insertions and deletions, every change tracked in the platform.

The rationale

Why the new wording satisfies the law, with a direct link to source for verification and audit defence.

The outcome

A clear path to remediation, end to end. You finish with a compliant policy — not an analysis, a report or a memo.

“You don’t end with a list of problems. You end with a compliant policy — every change tracked and traced to source, ready to defend in an audit.”
