We recently had the pleasure of sitting down with intelliflo to record a new episode for the intelliflo Interacts vodcast series. Garry Evans, Recordsure’s Chief Product Officer and Chief Commercial Officer, joined Thomas Richter, Director of Strategic Partnerships at intelliflo, for a wide-ranging conversation about how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping compliance, quality assurance (QA) and customer outcomes in wealth management.
The result is three genuinely honest discussions – no hype, no overselling – just a practical look at where AI is making a real difference, where it still has limits, and what comes next.
If you work in compliance, risk or technology leadership and you’re trying to cut through the noise around AI in financial services, these are worth your time.
What the three-part series covers
Part 1: Recordsure and the role of AI in wealth management
The conversation opens with a question that matters to many firms right now: how do you move from manual, labour-intensive compliance reviews to something smarter without losing oversight or control?
Garry traces Recordsure’s origins – built specifically to tackle the heavy burden of suitability reviews and compliance monitoring in wealth management – and explains how the business has evolved as AI capabilities have advanced. The discussion covers the partnership with intelliflo and explores a theme that runs throughout all three parts: the right balance between automation and human oversight. AI can do the heavy lifting, but human judgement remains essential. That’s not a limitation but a feature.
Part 2: Customer outcomes, triage and the future of AI in advice
Part 2 gets into the operational detail. How does predictive AI actually help firms evidence good customer outcomes under the FCA’s Consumer Duty? How does triage work in practice, and what does it mean to dramatically increase sample rates without hiring more people?
Garry walks through how Recordsure AI helps compliance teams identify risk areas faster, prioritise their reviews more intelligently and get consistent coverage across advice interactions. The conversation also covers customer/adviser interaction analytics and the distinction between predictive and generative AI – a distinction that matters a lot in regulated environments. While generative AI is very accessible, it isn’t always the right tool for compliance-critical decisions. Knowing the difference is part of using AI responsibly.
Part 3: Compliance evolution, global insights and what’s next for Recordsure
The final part zooms out. How are compliance expectations changing — and how can compliance teams shift from being seen as a cost centre to becoming a genuine driver of business value?
Garry draws on experience from both the UK and Australia, where large-scale remediation projects — including “fee for no service” cases — demonstrated what AI-driven triage and document analysis can achieve at scale: significantly reduced effort, faster resolution and better outcomes for customers. It’s a useful lens for UK firms thinking about where regulatory scrutiny is heading.
The episode closes with a look at what’s next for Recordsure: a focus on data extraction, cross-source validation, and raising the standard of evidence and integrity across the advice process. As industry consolidation accelerates and regulatory expectations keep rising, having a robust evidencing framework isn’t just good practice — it’s becoming a competitive necessity.
Why this conversation matters
The pressure on wealth management firms to evidence good customer outcomes is only going in one direction. The FCA has been explicit that Consumer Duty compliance isn’t a tick-box exercise — it requires firms to demonstrate, with real data, that customers are receiving suitable advice and appropriate ongoing service.
Manual QA processes, even well-run ones, can only cover a fraction of interactions. Predictive AI fundamentally changes that equation, enabling triage at scale, identifying emerging risk earlier, and freeing up compliance professionals to focus on the cases that actually need their expertise.
What comes through clearly in this series is that the firms getting the most from AI aren’t the ones that have handed everything over to the technology. They’re the ones who have thought carefully about governance, human oversight and how AI fits into their existing workflows — and then built from there. As we explored in our Attivo case study, that kind of structured approach can deliver a 40% reduction in file review costs and a step-change in advice quality.
The intelliflo partnership is an important part of how Recordsure delivers this in practice. Integrating AI-powered compliance tools directly into the platforms advisers already use removes friction, speeds up workflows and makes evidencing outcomes a natural part of the advice process rather than a separate overhead.
