Newsletter 844: Conversion to electronic dossier management and request for return of the enclosed declaration of consent

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen

The VQF SRO is continuously digitalising its processes. The next milestone will simplify communication with the VQF SRO for you as a member. We would like to summarise the most important points as follows:

• In future, members of the VQF SRO will be able to send the required documents electronically via e-mail. Delivery by post will only be necessary in designated exceptional cases.
• The VQF SRO has defined in detail which documents can be submitted in which form in its guide to applications and guide to changes (cf. our website https://www.vqf.ch/de/vqf-downloads).
• The member keeps the originals of the submitted documents with him/her, insofar as originals are necessary according to the guidelines.
• Official letters from the VQF SRO will continue to be sent to the member by post until further notice. However, delivery by e-mail is also possible at the discretion of the VQF SRO.

Further information can be found in the enclosed declaration of consent for electronic dossier management.

We kindly request that you return this document to us within 2 weeks of receipt with a legally valid signature (the original by physical mail with original handwritten signature or, in the case of a qualified electronic signature (see definition in the declaration of consent), by e-mail to info@vqf.ch).

Electronic documents can only be accepted by VQF once we have received the legally valid signed declaration of consent.

Thank you and please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Kind regards

VQF
