Recorded Webinar: FINRA CAT CAIS: What to Expect – Giving Regulators Full Access to Your Customer & Account Data

3 November 2021

Join n-Tier and a panel of industry experts to discuss implications of the SEC’s Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT) Customer & Account Information System (CAIS) Phase 2e.

The initial phase of CAIS was the start of a new era for broker-dealer Onboarding and Account Management teams, turning customer and account reference data into a daily regulatory reporting obligation, complete with reporting deadlines, data quality validations, and error feedback with time-sensitive repair windows. The next phase of CAIS, slated for July 11, 2022, applies to more broker-dealers, expands the scope of reportable data elements, and introduces sensitive customer information.

Discussion topics include:

  • Who is impacted by the expanded reporting requirements?
  • What are the additional data elements required for reporting?
  • How are Onboarding and Account Management teams and KYC processes impacted?
  • What do these new exception management and correction processes mean for reference data and transaction reporting?
  • Implications for other regulatory reporting obligations and surveillance programs
  • Reference data security trends and implications for firms and their service providers
  • What broker-dealers are doing now to prepare
  • Special considerations for clearing firms and correspondents
