e.surv selects Q-Guard AuditSure from Quest
Quest, the IT infrastructure supplier in the survey and mortgage valuation market, has today announced that e.surv Chartered Surveyors, the UK’s largest distributor of valuation instructions, has agreed to adopt Quest’s Q-Guard AuditSure system for valuation risk management across its business.
Q-Guard AuditSure supports surveyors in managing valuation risk by providing the survey firm with a rules based tool that checks valuations and highlights potential risks for the audit team. This works alongside existing audit tools that surveyors currently use, and provides additional peace of mind and security for surveyors and their clients.
Q-Guard AuditSure has been designed to be both easy to implement and use, providing surveyors’ audit teams with a simple but effective tool that checks all valuations. It is a significant step forward for surveyor audit which until now has been mainly focused on random sampling.
The award-winning Q-Guard range of services from Quest has evolved in collaboration with fraud, risk and audit representatives from UK lending and surveyor organisations, and already includes systems designed for both surveyors and lenders covering audit, risk and benchmarking.
Alison Traversoni, Chief Operating Officer of e.surv said: “Q-Guard AuditSure provides us with an enhanced layer of security at the point of valuation. It supports e.surv’s drive to constantly improve standards of service and care for our clients. With an increasing focus on audit across the industry, this new service from Quest will enhance our existing processes and help us safeguard clients’ business.”
James Sherwood-Rogers, Managing Director, Quest said: “We are pleased that the team at e.surv have selected Q-Guard AuditSure to support their risk management process. As the market leader, e.surv understands the need for effective valuation management, and Q-Guard AuditSure will integrate directly from their existing Quest system. Ultimately, the system protects good surveyors by enabling audit teams to focus on areas that need most attention.”
