SUMMARY:The PIMFA CASS Academy 2023
DESCRIPTION:Research shows that firms continue to fall foul of time-consuming and expensive CASS audits\, and even those firms with a mature understanding of the CASS rules aren’t immune to escalating CASS audit fees. The problem often isn’t with knowing the CASS rules – many strategies are well understood – but with execution and application. \n The PIMFA CASS Clients Academy is a unique learning experience for member firms who\, not content to keep up with CASS requirements\, seek to expand their knowledge and strengthen their internal capabilities to arrest rising CASS audit fees and ensure the number of incidences and breaches reported to the FCA continues to drop. \nThe PIMFA CASS Clients Academy (CCA) will change the way you and your firm approach CASS. You will emerge better able to tackle your firms toughest CASS audit challenges\, lead with greater CASS knowledge\, and inspire assurance at all levels in your firm that your next CASS audit is a success. CCA rapidly upskills CASS Officers\, Operations\, Compliance\, Certification Function Holders\, and Custodians to manage your next CASS audit and withstand scrutiny from regulators\, auditors and senior managers.

SUMMARY:PIMFA Webinar: How PIMFA Firms Can Successfully Take The Worry\, Frustration And Stress Out Of Their CASS Audit Session 2
DESCRIPTION:Demands on CASS firms have never been greater. \nResearch shows that firms continue to fall foul of time-consuming and expensive CASS audits\, and even those firms with a mature understanding of the CASS rules aren’t immune to protracted discussions with their CASS Auditors. The problem often isn’t with knowing the CASS rules – many strategies are well understood – but with execution and application. \nIn this FREE 60-minute webinar former regulator and co-creator of The PIMFA CASS Academy Katharine Leaman dispels the myths that surround a successful CASS Audit and withstand scrutiny from regulators\, auditors and senior managers. \nKey webinar discussion topics include: \n• The 6 key areas the FCA expects of you to be on top of\n• Why CASS breaches can be a force for good\n• Why you don’t need more staff or resources to overcome your CASS challenges \n

SUMMARY:Linking Consumer Duty outcomes to Employee Competence
DESCRIPTION:Since the FCA introduced plans for Consumer Duty\, firms and individuals alike have been working hard to ensure they deliver against the new requirements. However\, whilst there has been a lot of work put into implementing the cross-cutting rules\, and the four consumer outcomes\, very little has been said about the “employee” dimension\, other than in respect of the Conduct Rules. \nIf asked\, would your organisation be confident to hand over their Training & Competence records to the regulator? If they asked to see your T&C Regime pre-Consumer Duty and post\, would it really look any different? If asked\, could your firm demonstrate analysis and decisions around appropriate MI to evidence that your T&C scheme supports good consumer outcomes? Would being asked to demonstrate “role relevant” training on conduct rules to staff make you start to feel a little uncomfortable? \nRegardless of whether you might answer Yes/No/Don’t know to any one of those questions\, we think your input and perspective would add value to our debate on the topic\, so the Worksmart team to discuss: \n1. The regulators expectations of your T&C Regime\n2. What analysis and changes have you made to your T&C arrangements in light of Consumer Duty\n3. What does a good T&C regime look like under Consumer Duty?\n4. How you can evidence\, measure\, and monitor the competence of the staff to deliver defined customer outcomes\n5. How can your T&C arrangements support Culture change in your firm\n6. How RegTech can improve your approach to T&C \nClick here to register

SUMMARY:SEAR/IAF – The countdown has begun!
DESCRIPTION:Since the Central Bank of Ireland proposed the introduction of the Senior Executive Accountability Regime and the broader Individual Accountability Framework\, firms and individuals alike have been working hard to assess the changes required and the impact of the new regime on those affected. Due to the type and scale of the changes planned\, this is likely to be one of the most impactful regulatory changes seen in recent years. \nThe recent consultation paper published by the Central Bank has clearly laid out what the new regulatory expectations will be and whilst firms digest both this document and the supporting guidance\, there are still many firms and individuals looking to gain further clarity on how this will impact them. With the clock ticking towards the initial implementation dates\, now is the time to start considering how you and your organisation could benefit from exploring how RegTech can support and streamline your accountability regime. \nWith more experience of SM&CR implementations in the UK than other RegTech supplier\, why not join the Worksmart team as we discuss and debate the challenges that the new regime will bring to firms\, and the lessons learnt from UK organisations who have now been subject to an accountability regime for some years now. \nWhilst some aspects of the newly proposed regime/framework including SEAR\, will initially only apply to certain regulated firms\, others such as new conduct rules for certain individuals and business standards for firms will apply for all regulated firms. We will seek to discuss and debate all areas and engage with the audience for polling\, commentary\, Q & A’s and general observations and experience\, so if you feel that you and your firm could benefit from the vast experience that the Worksmart team have built up in the UK\, then join us for what will be a lively and open discussion. \nTo book click here \nVanessa Palmer\nDatabase & Events Management Principal\nvanessa.palmer@worksmart.co.uk\n07535031514

SUMMARY:LGBTQ+ clients - A Safe Space Webinar to help with their financial needs
DESCRIPTION:This webinar has been created to help those concerned with saying the wrong thing when working with LGBTQ+ clients.

SUMMARY:PIMFA Live Online Learning: T&C under Consumer Duty: What You Need to Know Session 2
DESCRIPTION:To ensure your people are prepared to meet the ‘biggest regulatory overhaul in a decade’ PIMFA member firms would be advised to dust off and stress test their approach to Training and Competency (T&C) before the new Consumer Duty comes into force in July 2023. \nWhy is T&C so critical under the new Consumer Duty? \nTaking centre stage of your approach to Consumer Duty is your firm’s ability to practice and demonstrate to the FCA that all your people are aligned and focused on delivering and evidencing good customer outcomes against new and more stringent regulatory expectations. Your firm’s approach to T&C plays a critical role in showing\, not just telling the regulator that your advisor population is acting in good faith\, proactively avoiding foreseeable harm\, and supporting customers to pursue their financial objectives. \nIn this live\, interactive\, and practical training session\, delivered by a senior T&C practitioner we take HR\, L&D\, Operations\, Compliance\, and T&C professionals’ who are looking to: \n\nGet to grips with what good T&C looks like under the new Consumer Duty\nAdapt their approach to T&C against the expectations of the new Consumer Duty\nIdentify and close any T&C gaps or blind spots that might hamper their firm from achieving the outcomes that the FCA will be looking for under the new Consumer Duty\nAssure the board and senior executives that your firm’s approach to T&C meets the cross-cutting rules and the four outcomes before the July 2023 deadline\nFor additional guidance on how to conduct supervised T&C assessments under the new Consumer Duty\n\nBy the end of the session\, you’ll be able to: \n\nUpdate and reposition your approach to T&C appropriate to the new Consumer Duty\nAnalyse the changes that are needed to support a consumer outcome approach rather than one that is compliance driven\nConfidently answer challenges on how your T&C framework supports clients pursue their financial objectives\nDemonstrate to stakeholders including the board\, internal audit\, and the regulator how your approach to people competence and capability management achieves ‘good customer outcomes’.\n\n
