Do email me/us.
It may take 24 hours or so now as have reports to do.
I’m unsure how long you have been a member /clerk as so much of this seems past tense
Not constructive use of time but always enjoy helpful discussion and good feedback
It was agreed and noted to be a working progress document. As with all of them. This way they can always be worked on and updated.
If you want to get more all member support offered is greatly received and the more passionate members helping the better.
Email us if this is something your interested in
Have you read any responses to your posts Antony?
Exactly what we did at the AGM.
After work, board, months of meetings, coach and the Aiic lawyer.
Next month we meet the regulators and custodians of all deposits in one room, 2nd time, to further discuss our code and our reporting for the Uk standard.
Please do take the time to read responses provided and even call us or email us directly for any further guidance
We are massively focused as a membership body on independence. We note how many issues there have been over the years with non disclosure rather then offering transparency and stating any perceived or otherwise things that can be considered a conflict.
Some of the former boards advice in the day was to offer it separately, rather then disclose any relevant cross overs.
Our clerks will often wipe away a grease m,ark with a carried cloth; we have been told its a conflict and just report it, but on the whole most consumers find this helpful.
The main point being is this is happens everywhere; now we must remain transparent and note its happening and offer full disclosure and always remain transparent and make sure we are doing best by our reports being unbiased. Remaining independent in our reporting as well as unbiased.
It will be interesting to see whether the consumer complaints and or issues raised decline on these former issues.
This debate is endless and is always on going, as the documents, a working progress.
Your input is one opinion and it will never be possible to satisfy all member opinions but moving with the time and looking to be and remain the best as well as improve as an organisation and work with any rising issues effectively is critical.
For reassurance we are meeting with all the deposit custodial schemes to update their thoughts on reporting, they love us and what we are doing and hopefully will get to the point of making sure it must be an AIIC regulated clerk doing the job.
Please do call me for further discussions; I enjoy it and am better in the spoken word then I will ever be in writing.Danny
Hi Antony,
No. The policing of conflicts of interest is definitely no joke.
One of the great reasons for bringing our code of practice into the market place we have moved to since they were last drafted many years ago is we do not attend reports with our members and so cannot police them in any manner other then our compliance and guidelines. Then we have a moving market place where some clerks will be recommending certain companies perhaps even for benefit. Alongside this the changing models of peoples businesses as the market has changed, shrunk or otherwise. Offering other services with need to be declared. The climate for those us of in it for decades has declined and changed dramatically.
We cannot and do not police this; the way forward is that if there are any other issues pertaining to an interest in the property other then ownership this needed to be disclosed whenever needed.
On that note glad you have noted the documents are getting there overhaul; they are and will now be always referred to by us as in working progress. These ones went through our last AGM.
Hopefully at next years AGM we can look at a digital way of involving those that cannot be present for this due to geographic’s, I think its def worth thinking about.
Regards,
Danny
Hi All,
I am running work shops 1 evening of every week and working through our documents with our coach. They then go via the board and our solicitor. You will note the new code of practice, the constitutions our mission and vision are now the new documents and on line for us all.
These things take time and are a working progress.
I started working through our guidelines in this weeks evening session.
I will get the broken links removed; they were to documents that have been deleted. Thanks very much.
*****I take this opportunity to remind us that we have our office telephone and email to any issues that need fixing or resolving.****
***WE ARE HERE TO HELP!****
Have a good weekend.
Many thanks,
The Team and fellow members.
Hi Stef, there is a field you fill in for the areas/regions you wish to gain work for. *Biographical Info* My number is 07827 966208 if you want to go through your profile together.
Hi Fira, they can search for you in many ways, one can be via your name or your company name. Please do try the lising without being logged in and see the many ways our members site works for us all. My number is 07827 966208 if you want to look through the site with me.
Hi Rowley, it can be much easier for us if you raise a concern to us at the office first; this way we do not end up addressing undue concerns to many members on phones, emails and this forum as well. It also means we can spend more time resolving actual issues and fixing them if they are valid, rather then dealing with many emails and calls due to a internet concern raised in our members forum that we can always fix if there is an issue. I do apologise if I sound short but this is happening alot with small things that are not actually issues, then we place all our days resources into explaining to many people, in many different formats what was never actually a problem. My number is 07827 966208 if you want to work through this in more detail or raise a change to our site and we can ask the professionals what other ways this can work for us all.
If anyone ever needs any assistance with their members log ins, website issues, their profiles and anything membership AIIC related, call us./email us and we are here and will fix or explain through it immediately 🙂
Many thanks,
Danny
Central OfficeHi Rowley, Stef and Fira,
The one thing in common here is none of you have any biographical data filled into your profiles. It will use this information to function.
Its the same for any member that has not filled in information, they can be floating in the database so to speak.
This is the popular WordPress app for our type of database and functionality.
It is random, on the information provided to it in our profiles.
I am unsure of another way this can be run for all of us but we are always open to ideas and we can run these by the site engineers.
We could even look at this in the future if required.
Danny
Correct, thanks for being vigilant though.
There are areas and many things that need constant updating.
Compliance and what we require to join can be one of those.
Many thanks,
Danny
Hi Verity,
Thanks for your post.
This forum goes across the entire membership via the email alerts and we do have central office email addresses you can use for these questions.
We note you are a relatively new member, our welcome pack will offer you all the advise and information you can use as a member including our emails.
We are very close to signing off the minutes. They go from proofing to board to edit to signed off; this took/can take some time. ANy second now they will be placed up in our website space.
Many thanks.
In case needed centraloffice@theaiic.co.uk
We see quite a few clerks and or companies that quote they will not try to lift anything due to H and S as well as their insurance policies.
Sadly there can be the practice of either party making sure a stained side would be hidden/underneath so investigation is very, very useful.
