Client Assets Sourcebook (CASS) Training Course
Cornerstone of financial industry trust
Safeguarding of client assets forms a cornerstone of trust in the financial industry.
ELEARNING CONTENT FOR EVERYONE
Expertly crafted content, exceptional value
The 2008 financial crisis saw a number of banks fail, notably Northern Rock and Lehman Brothers. Their experiences demonstrated the importance of protecting client assets for the benefit of both individual customers, and society more broadly.
The financial regulator has strict rules to ensure that client assets are fully protected, irrespective of the macroeconomic environment. These stem from its Principle 10: “A firm must arrange adequate protection for clients’ assets when it is responsible for them”.
This course has been designed to help people understand how client assets should be protected through case studies and real-life examples. Learners will be assessed on their knowledge and understanding through a test at the end of the course.
Adjustments can be made to suit the needs of your company – please contact us for more information.
Course duration: this course should take around 90 minutes to complete.
