Capital Market Solutions Highlights RSMS Impact on CAT and CAIS Compliance Amid Rising Regulatory Pressure in 2025

Regulatory Pressure Mounts: CAT and CAIS Under the Microscope
Over the past six months, FINRA has significantly intensified its expectations around Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT) Compliance and Customer Account Information System (CAIS) reporting. Regulators are no longer accepting surface-level reporting-firms must now ensure precision, cross-system data validation, and audit-ready documentation across all reporting touchpoints.
Legacy systems and manual spreadsheets have been exposed as high-risk, low-reliability solutions. In response, firms are accelerating their shift toward unified platforms like RSMS, purpose-built to handle the demands of today's hyper-vigilant regulatory environment.

RSMS: Driving Proactive Compliance Across CAT and CAIS
RSMS, CMS's flagship RegTech solution, is engineered to bring real-time oversight, risk detection, and automated reconciliation to the forefront of compliance operations. With seamless integration to both CAT and CAIS workflows, RSMS empowers firms to:
Detect and resolve CAT exceptions before they trigger regulatory scrutiny
Validate CAIS records across customer, account, and relationship levels
Monitor timeliness and accuracy across submissions with smart dashboards
Maintain full audit trails and documentation for every reporting action
More than just a reporting tool, RSMS functions as an intelligent compliance engine that transforms data into decision-ready insights, ensuring firms remain confident, agile, and fully prepared for regulatory examinations.
Introducing CAIS-Connect: Simplifying FINRA CAIS Reporting
In addition to RSMS, CMS recently launched CAIS-Connect-a streamlined module tailored specifically for FINRA CAIS compliance. CAIS-Connect simplifies data uploads, runs validation checks in real-time, and minimizes the back-and-forth traditionally required to meet CAIS Phase 2 and beyond.
Firms using CAIS-Connect benefit from:
Automated population of account, customer, and relationship records
Built-in error flagging and remediation paths
Centralized dashboards and reporting history
Time savings, reduced regulatory risk, and audit readiness

Looking Ahead: The Second Half of 2025
According to CMS, the remainder of 2025 will bring even more granular CAT and CAIS reporting standards, with heightened scrutiny around data completeness, internal controls, and reconciliation accuracy. Firms must embrace scalable, cloud-based solutions like RSMS to avoid penalties, protect their reputations, and remain compliant amidst constant change.
