CASS Compliance
“I have specialised in the protection of Client Money and CASS compliance within UK insurance intermediaries because this is an area where most firms face real practical challenges. As a former CFO of a large UK broker and having supported broking firms from the largest and most complex to the smaller firms, I can fully understand these practical challenges. My extensive CASS experience means that I can add real significant value. By helping to design and implement effective solutions my aim is to leave my clients with a well founded confidence that their firm is protecting Client Money effectively and has good control over its CASS compliance.” Chris Burr.
