Conduct & Ethics for the Board & Senior Management
Overview
A poor culture has been at the root of many financial scandals.
For any business, be it in financial services or another industry sector, be it regulated or unregulated, it is essential that the culture of the firm should be clearly understood by Senior Management and the Board and that this should cascade down to all staff in order to influence conduct. For regulated firms, those behaviours should result in the right customer outcomes.
This course discusses the concept of culture, questions what makes a good culture in a firm and poses challenges to Senior Management to show the right cultural and ethical leadership. This will allow all staff to understand what constitutes the right behaviour in specific scenarios and where to go for assistance if they are not sure.
