The landscape for UK Payment Service Providers (PSPs) is undergoing its most significant structural change since 2017. On 7 May 2026, the FCA’s new CASS 15 regime (PS25/12) comes into force, replacing "best practice" guidance with a rigid, prescriptive rulebook.
For Board members and compliance leads, safeguarding is no longer just an operational matter, it is now a question of personal accountability and audit survival.
MHA and Pathlight Associates are holding a high-level briefing designed to bridge the gap between regulatory expectation and practical implementation.
Why Attend?
As the 7th May deadline arrives, firms must move beyond theoretical compliance. We will address the "Hard Truths" of the new regime, including:
- The "Qualified Auditor" Shift: Understand why existing safeguarding audit processes may no longer meet the new Companies Act standards.
- The 48-Hour Resolution Challenge: Can your firm retrieve a CASS 10A Resolution Pack in under 48 hours during an insolvency drill?
- Daily Reconciliation Discipline: Preparing for the mandatory D+1 internal and external reconciliation cycle.
- The "Single Responsible Director": Navigating new personal accountability requirements that put safeguarding squarely on the Board’s agenda.
