Evidence everything
the COLP is accountable for.
As Compliance Officer for Legal Practice, you carry personal accountability for the firm's compliance. Reglo gives COLPs a complete, timestamped audit trail of policy reviews, regulatory updates, approvals, attestations, and decisions — so you can evidence compliance activity across the firm on demand.
Can the COLP evidence what was reviewed, what changed, who approved it, and who acknowledged it — across the whole firm?
COLPs are expected to show compliance is actively managed, not just documented. When the SRA or management asks, the evidence is often scattered across drives, inboxes, and trackers. Reglo keeps the COLP's audit trail complete and current — policy reviews, approvals, attestations, and regulatory updates in one defensible record.

Common questions
Does Reglo replace the COLP role?
No. Reglo supports the COLP. It keeps the policy reviews, approvals, attestations, and audit trail organised and current; the COLP keeps accountability and approves every change.
What is a COLP audit trail in Reglo?
A timestamped, attributable record of compliance activity — policy reviews, regulatory updates, approvals, and attestations — that the COLP can export as evidence for management or the SRA.
How is this different from a document store?
Reglo is an active agent: it monitors regulatory change, drafts updates for approval, and records the decisions — capturing evidence as a byproduct of the work, not a folder you populate before a review.
