FIFTEEN & CO
About.
We bridge the gap between technical execution and regulatory requirement by combining three distinct disciplines.
Systems Engineers. We review the technical logic, not just the reporting outputs. Our team brings deep architectural knowledge of the automated reconciliation stacks used by modern PIs and EMIs, including AutoRek, Kani, and Aurum. We evaluate the integrity of data flows between core ledgers and Tier 1 providers like Modulr, ClearBank, and Currencycloud, ensuring that your internal and external reconciliation logic is robust enough to withstand deep technical scrutiny from statutory auditors.
Payments Practitioners. Our team members have previously managed high-volume payment operations from the inside. This background allows us to move past theoretical advice and implement the exact operational controls required for a 24/7 environment. We understand how to balance the prescriptive requirements of CASS 15 with the commercial need for speed, ensuring your safeguarding framework is scalable, resilient, and fully integrated into your daily workflow.
CASS Risk Specialists. Our team includes former Compliance and Operational Risk Officers with firsthand experience managing CASS frameworks within both the 1st and 2nd lines of defense. We bring the technical perspective required to build functional daily controls (1LoD) and the independent authority to provide the robust challenge (2LoD) the FCA now mandates under CASS 15. By applying this dual-lens approach, we identify governance gaps and control weaknesses before they are surfaced in a Reasonable Assurance audit, ensuring your risk framework is both compliant and defensible.
