Investment language, tax positions and HMRC correspondence carry real liability. SafeReplies catches definitive promises, unsuitable-advice phrasing, missing risk disclaimers, and FCA boundary breaches — before they leave your firm.
The accountancy pack is trained on FCA boundary cases, ICAEW disciplinary findings, and the wording that recurs in client complaints. Each pattern below comes with example phrases, the reason it's risky, and a suggested compliant rewrite.
Suggesting suitability or making forward-looking return statements when the firm isn't authorised to advise on investments.
Wording such as "this will be allowable" or "HMRC will accept" without the conditions, assumptions and case-law references.
Client emails that should carry standard ICAEW / firm disclaimers — capital at risk, advice limited to facts presented, etc.
Stepping across the line from accountancy into regulated financial advice — pensions, investments, insurance product recommendations.
Wrong-recipient sensitive figures, mixing-up client references, oversharing in tax-agent correspondence with HMRC.
Aggressive, vague or evasive wording in disputes and enquiries that can prolong investigations or escalate penalties.
Advice that's right for the firm's average client but written without the caveats this particular client's facts require.
Email scope-creep — promising services or outcomes the signed engagement letter explicitly excludes.
Non-compliant CDD requests, oversharing the reason for a check, or wording that could tip off a subject of an SAR.
Set up SafeReplies in Outlook and Gmail, choose Accountancy as your industry, and the pack is live across your team within minutes. Layer your engagement letters, firm disclaimers and internal SOPs on top whenever you're ready.
Nine risk categories, hundreds of flagged phrases, mapped to FCA Handbook, ICAEW Code of Ethics, AML regulations and UK GDPR.
If a draft email needs your firm's standard risk / scope / capital-at-risk wording, we surface the correct version and offer one-click insert.
New FCA guidance, HMRC briefs, or ICAEW disciplinary findings are reviewed and pushed into your pack within hours.
Per-partner and per-team dashboards, manager-approval flow for borderline advice, and risk scoring without singling out individuals.
