Why Veriqua?
Six reasons compliance officers choose Veriqua over spreadsheets, shared drives, and generic GRC platforms.
1. The only purpose-built dual-regime platform
Financial services firms must comply with both ASIC (AFSL) and AUSTRAC (AML/CTF) obligations. Every other product forces you to buy two systems, manage two data sets, and produce two audit trails. Veriqua covers both regimes in a single tenanted product — one audit log, one sign-off chain, one platform.
2. Statutory timers no competitor has built
Five hard-deadline statutory timers are built directly into the workflow. They run from the moment a record is created — not from when someone remembers to check.
3. Built by a practitioner
Veriqua wasn't built by a product manager guessing what compliance looks like. It was designed and personally coded by Paul Wise — an active AFSL holder and compliance practitioner who built the tool he needed to run his own firm.
Every timer, every register, every sign-off chain solves a problem Paul encountered in practice. It has been running his firm's entire compliance function since early 2026 — through board reporting, independent audits, and regulatory interaction.
4. Sovereign by architecture
Compliance data is highly sensitive. Veriqua is hosted exclusively in Australia. Compute, database storage, and backups are all Australian-hosted. The architecture is explicitly designed to comply with Australian Privacy Principle (APP) 8 regarding cross-border disclosure.
Veriqua Pty Ltd (ABN 92 697 961 023) is an Australian company. All intellectual property is owned by the founder. Every open-source component used in the platform carries a permissive licence — nothing that could require the platform's source code to be disclosed to a third party.

Generic GRC tools require months of configuration to map to Australian law. Veriqua works out of the box. Every register, workflow, and timer maps to a specific section number in the Corporations Act, AML/CTF Act, or Privacy Act.
11 Acts and Regulatory Guides are anchored in the platform: Corporations Act, AML/CTF Act, Privacy Act, RG 78, 104, 105, 175, 181, 256, 270, and 271. When a regulator opens your audit trail, they see statutory references — not internal labels.
6. You're not set up and left to figure it out
Veriqua is a self-serve platform — but that doesn't mean you're handed a login and left alone. When you join, we work with you through the setup process.
The goal: by the time onboarding is done, your team knows the system and can run it independently. Structured setup support — not open-ended consulting.
