Webinar: What “good” looks like for small FCA-regulated firms
25th September 2025 | 11:00 - 11:45 | Online
Small firms face the same FCA standards with leaner teams and budgets. In this practical session, Katharine Leaman (Leaman Crellin, formerly FCA) shares real-life feedback from firms your size - what’s working, what isn’t, and how to meet expectations without heavy overheads. Then Robert Glynn (Skillcast) will demo CoreCompliance to show how e-learning and the platform help small firms deliver - and evidence - compliance.
What you’ll learn:
- “Small firm” in FCA terms: what it really means and how your challenges differ from larger peers.
- The three life stages of a small regulated firm—and the risks and opportunities at each stage.
- Where expectations are lighter or heavier for smaller firms, with concrete examples of “good” in practice.
- How peers manage regulation, training and governance efficiently—and how CoreCompliance can help.

Agenda:
- Welcome & context for small FCA firms
- Briefing from ex-FCA: expectations, pitfalls, quick wins
- Live CoreCompliance demo: assign training, track completion, capture evidence
- Q&A
Who should attend?
- Principals, Compliance Officers, and Ops/HR leads at small financial services firms.
