Get to grips with complex regulation and protect you and your firm from regulatory failures
The buying public’s confidence in the Financial Services industry was shattered by a series of scandals that emerged during the ‘noughties’. As a result, Governments have introduced comprehensive and radical regulation as a way of rebuilding trust.
For small businesses the scope of the new rules can seem daunting, and for new staff in the sector it’s hard to know where to begin.
But poor compliance causes more than just a regulatory headache. It can ruin a firm’s reputation, devastate its balance sheet and cause untold harm to consumers. Breaking the rules can also lead to personal liability (at all levels in the firm).
Get expert guidance on:
- The UK’s regulatory structure
- The Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SM&CR)
- The Conduct of Business rules (Tiers 1 and 2)
- Financial crime issues including anti-money laundering and bribery
- Changes to the Client Assets Sourcebook
- Complaints and redress procedures
This practical course is of particular value to new starters in the insurance sector, or those who simply wish to extend their understanding of this important aspect of professional life.
