CASS 15 Webinar - FCA’s changes to the safeguarding regime

This session will explore what the new CASS 15 and CASS 10A requirements mean in practice.

  • Wed 25th February 2026
  • 9:30am - 10:30am
  • Online via Zoom

    Join us for an insightful webinar exploring the FCA’s changes to the safeguarding regime for payment and e-money firms under CASS 15.

    The FCA’s new rules under PS25/12 will significantly raise the bar on safeguarding. Enhanced reconciliations, strengthened due diligence, robust safeguarding audits and new monthly regulatory returns require firms to take action well in advance of 7 May 2026.

    This session will explore what the new CASS 15 and CASS 10A requirements mean in practice, where firms are likely to face the greatest challenges, and how to prepare your processes, controls and governance to meet regulatory expectations.

    Our expert panel will provide real-world insight from a legal, regulatory and audit perspective.

    Gillian Boston, Head of CASS at Johnston Carmichael

    Gill will share the CASS auditor’s perspective, outlining regulatory expectations and common pitfalls.

    Jamie Gray, Partner at Burness Paull LLP

    Jamie will explore the key changes  introduced by  CASS 15 and the challenges firms are facing.

    Lisa Blenkinsop, Senior Manager at Thistle Initiatives

    Lisa will focus on practical preparations – what firms should be doing now to reduce operational and regulatory risk.

      

    Whether you are responsible for compliance, finance, risk or oversight of client money and safeguarding arrangements, our webinar will highlight key actions to be taken to be able to approach CASS 15 with confidence.
