Course Overview This course seeks to explain the role the FCA plays in the financial services sector and its position within the overall UK economy. We look at the structure of the regulator and how it is designed to support the objectives allocated to it.

Description Given its role and importance to any functioning modern economy, 'trust' is an essential ingredient between providers of financial services, its clients and even wider society. Culture, conduct and ethics are words which have come to pepper the regulatory lexicon. The importance of these intangible concepts and 'getting it right' has been clearly communicated, and myriad speeches and initiatives in the financial services sector focus on these themes. This programme does not purport to dictate how firms should define their values or operate their businesses. However, lawmakers, regulators and society have defined certain minimum expectations and standards of behaviour from the perspective of customer and business outcomes. These are sometimes framed or described (whether explicitly or implicitly) as issues of trust, integrity or honesty; concepts which have a distinct ethical underpin. Firms and individuals operating in the sector must be conscious and mindful of these standards and expectations and consider both whether they are satisfying the letter and spirit of the rules and/or guidance and whether the values and principles which they have set for themselves are effective in directing and delivering the firm's desired outcomes. Training Duration This course may take up to 2 hours to be completed. However, actual study time differs as each learner uses their own training pace. Participants This course is ideal for anyone wishing to know more about Ethics, Integrity and Fairness in Financial Services, and the regulatory requirements for investment firms, insurance and banking institutions.
