Conduct Risk, the risk of acting in a way that could harm customers or financial markets, is one of the top trends in financial services regulation today. Regulators in the UK and EU have made protecting consumers one of their primary objectives for the coming years. They believe that a change in culture is needed throughout the financial services industry.
Embedding conduct risk throughout every part of your business is a crucial step toward realising this change. You can do this by monitoring the outcomes your customers receive and comparing them to the outcomes you want to achieve. Employee training is a key part of this process.
That’s where CityLearning can help! We’ve been training staff in the UK on conduct risk for more than 10 years with Conduct Risk. This eLearning course teaches your staff how to treat customers fairly and deliver good customer outcomes.
Broken down into three less than 15-minute modules, your staff will learn what is expected of them under the local accountability regime, including how to comply with the rules of conduct within this regime.
