ACA Group, a governance, risk and compliance (GRC) advisor in financial services and backed by Genstar Capital, has acquired Encore Compliance, a company focused on AI compliance software services.

This acquisition enhances ACA’s managed services suite of people, processes, and technology, adding AI-enabled surveillance for expert network chaperoning and research calls to help asset managers and investment advisors comply with SEC, FCA and ESMA regulations. Additionally, this technology helps research teams to create their own libraries and identify potential risks in other voice communications subject to heightened regulatory oversight, aimed to strengthen overall compliance controls.
