FCA authorisations, filings and AML reviews — tracked automatically

In financial services a lapsed authorisation or an expired PI policy is not an admin problem — it is a trading risk. ExpiryEdge tracks every regulatory deadline across your firm: FCA permissions, regulatory filings, registrations, AML/KYC review cycles, audit dates and key-person qualifications. Reminders reach the right people before any deadline becomes a breach.

Audit trail of every renewal decision for FCA supervision

Quick answer

ExpiryEdge is a compliance tracking platform for financial services firms. It records every regulatory item with a deadline — FCA authorisations, regulatory filings, registrations, professional indemnity insurance, AML/KYC review cycles, audit dates and adviser qualifications — and sends multi-step reminders before each one lapses. Every renewal is logged with a timestamped audit trail, ready for FCA supervision or a file review.

The problem

Where regulatory deadlines go wrong

Filings slip the window

Annual fees, RegData returns and supervision submissions are easy to miss when no system is counting down to them.

AML reviews drift

Periodic KYC refreshes fall behind schedule, leaving the firm unable to evidence ongoing due diligence.

PI cover lapses unnoticed

A renewal handled the day the premium is due leaves no time to review limits or go to market.

No evidence at supervision

When the FCA asks for training, authorisation or review history, reconstructing it from email takes days.

The fix

A control for every regulatory date

FCA authorisation and permissions

Track firm authorisations, individual approvals and permissions. Know when annual fees, supervision submissions or SMF updates are due — before the FCA chases.

Regulatory filings and returns

Track RegData returns, CASS submissions and accounts-rules deadlines with reminders at your chosen intervals.

AML and KYC review cycles

Track periodic KYC refresh dates and AML training per client and employee. Evidence a continuous due-diligence culture to regulators.

Professional indemnity insurance

Log PI renewal dates and policy limits, with enough lead time to review coverage and broker alternatives before the renewal date.

Adviser qualifications and CPD

Track QCF, CII, CISI and CFA qualifications per adviser, plus CPD hours, so no one advises with lapsed credentials.

Audit cycles and evidence

Every renewal logged, every certificate stored, every decision timestamped — pull the evidence for an audit or PI insurer in seconds.

How it works

A timestamped audit trail of every renewal

Each reminder, upload, review and approval is logged with who did it and when. When the FCA or a PI insurer asks, the proof is a download — not a week of reconstructing threads.

Frequently asked questions

FCA firm authorisations and permissions, approved person and SMF registrations, RegData and CASS returns, professional indemnity and public liability insurance, individual adviser qualifications (QCF, CII, CISI, CFA, LIBF), CPD hour requirements, AML/KYC review cycles, AML and GDPR training certificates, platform and custodian contracts, and ICO data-protection registration. If it has a renewal, filing or review date, ExpiryEdge can track it.

Yes. You can record periodic KYC refresh dates per client and AML training refresh dates per employee, each on its own cadence. Reminders fire ahead of the review date so due diligence stays current, and every completed review is logged so you can evidence a continuous AML programme to the FCA.

Yes. For individual qualification reminders, you configure the adviser as the recipient — they receive the alert directly, and the compliance officer can be copied. The person whose qualification it is takes responsibility for renewal, rather than the compliance team chasing everyone manually.

When the FCA requests evidence of training compliance, qualification history or authorisation records, you pull the relevant reports rather than assembling documents manually. The audit trail shows each item, its renewal history, the responsible person, and when it was last reviewed. Supervision visits become routine rather than reactive.

Yes. Regulatory filings, RegData returns, external audit dates and internal review cycles are tracked in the same dashboard as qualifications and insurance — each with its own deadline, owner and reminder cadence. One view covers the firm’s entire regulatory calendar.

Most teams are live in under 10 minutes. You can import existing records from a spreadsheet, log each authorisation, filing, policy and qualification with its deadline and notice period, upload the documents, and start receiving automated reminders.
