Resources · Questions and answers

Questions clients ask about this page.

Short, factual answers stated in the same wording the firm uses in every scope letter, supervisory record and rejection-register entry.

Q01

What does Financial Literacy cover at DC-SERVICES UK?

DC-SERVICES provides access to resources designed to improve financial literacy within an institutional context.

Q02

Does Digital Claims Services Limited hold client assets or execute transactions?

No. DC-SERVICES UK is non-custodial. The firm does not take possession of client assets, does not place trades, does not act as a fund administrator and does not move funds on behalf of any party.

Q03

Does DC-SERVICES UK provide investment, tax or legal advice?

No. The firm produces structured documentation only. Investment, tax and legal advice fall outside the permitted activities and are not offered on any page of this site.

Q04

Who signs off the work that is released?

Every record passes a two-stage supervisory signoff. Stage one verifies internal consistency and source coverage; stage two, performed by a named senior reviewer outside the originating team, confirms release readiness. Released records are sealed into the archive; any rework is logged in the rejection register and re-entered into stage one.

Q05

How are conflicts and independence handled before an engagement starts?

Each engagement begins with a written scope letter, a conflicts register check and an independence screen. Records that fail any check are not released externally; the failure is logged in the rejection register with a reason code.
