    d) Maintain appropriate records and audit trails.
    e) Take all reasonable steps in relation to any arrangement with third parties to confirm that any referrals, leads or data have been obtained in accordance with the requirements of the legislation and Rules.
    f) Have appropriate procedures in place for early identification and protection of vulnerable consumers and give due consideration to obligations under any relevant legislation.

    Client Specific Rule 19 – A business must give prompt advice to the client about any requirements concerning the claim and advise the client without delay of any demands for additional information that may have been requested by any party via the business.
