CONCLUSIONS
The full survey write-up is a must-have for all users and providers of fund accounting and administration services. It presents the key results and drills down to client satisfaction for each of 33 service elements. For each qualifying service provider, a detailed profile is presented across these services - featuring gap analysis (contrasting the provider's performance to an industry standard), a performance chart, year-on-year analysis and succinct commentary on strengths and weaknesses. This is followed by a series of league tables for each service element and, finally, a copy of the survey questionnaire.
