Reach OECD Common Reporting Standard (CRS) readiness without rebuilding your policy programme
The Common Reporting Standard (CRS) is the OECD framework for the automatic exchange of financial account information between jurisdictions to combat offshore tax evasion. Financial institutions in CRS-participating jurisdictions (120+ now signed) must identify reportable accounts via due diligence + report annually to local tax authority who exchanges with the account holder's residence jurisdiction. CRS 2.0 (March 2023) extends scope to include crypto-assets via the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), with implementation from 2026. Quick Policy maps OECD Common Reporting Standard (CRS) into the policy families, controls, and evidence your team needs - and keeps it current between audits.

How Quick Policy verifies against OECD Common Reporting Standard (CRS)
Every policy Quick Policy generates is scored against OECD Common Reporting Standard (CRS)'s pass mark, with a PASS, WARN, or FAIL verdict and plain-English guidance on what to fix when it falls short.
A monthly automated audit re-checks coverage against this standard, so drift is caught between scheduled reviews rather than at the next one.
Audit-ready exports bundle the scored policies, gap guidance, and review history into one evidence pack when it is time to show your work.

Why OECD Common Reporting Standard (CRS) matters for your operating model
OECD Common Reporting Standard (CRS) doesn't just dictate document templates - it shapes which controls auditors test, what evidence they ask for, and which gaps surface first during diligence. Getting it wrong creates renewal slippage, audit findings, and stalled customer deals.
- • Issued by OECD / Member State Tax Authorities with global recognition.
- • Directly shapes policy families including Tax Compliance, Kyc, Regulatory Reporting — these are the artefacts assessors open first.
- • Common artifacts include Policy.
- • Obligation model: Mandatory In Scope — meaning you need defensible reasoning for in-scope vs out-of-scope decisions, not just signed policies.

OECD Common Reporting Standard (CRS) FAQs
What does OECD Common Reporting Standard (CRS) actually require?
The Common Reporting Standard (CRS) is the OECD framework for the automatic exchange of financial account information between jurisdictions to combat offshore tax evasion.

CRS 2.0 (March 2023) extends scope to include crypto-assets via the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), with implementation from 2026. In practice that means the policies, controls, and evidence around Tax Compliance, Kyc, Regulatory Reporting need to be authored, owned, tested, and producible on demand. Quick Policy maps each requirement to a policy section and evidence type so you can show coverage clause-by-clause.
