Fraud is usually defined by domestic regulators as taking place within a 'given industry' and within the broader legal framework, in a 'given country'. Unethical behaviour is closely related and may be forbidden by industry or law firm associations, accounting organisations, or other private professional groups. In the UK, the Fraud Act 2006 and the Theft Act 1968 outline the primary fraud offenses. A similar outline of offenses exists in legislation such as the companies and tax regulations, and the landscape continues to evolve. The UK hosted an Anti-Corruption Summit in 2016 and enacted the Criminal Finances Act in 2017.

In July 2022, the Financial Conduct Authority, or FCA, published a policy statement, with final rules, on its Consumer Duty initiative. This comprises a new principle, cross-cutting rules, and four outcomes for retail consumers. The Consumer Duty will mean that consumers should receive communications they can understand products and services that meet their needs and offer fair value, and obtain the customer support they need, when they need it. Clarity on the FCA's expectations, and firms' focus on what their customers need, should lead to more flexibility for firms to compete and innovate in the interests of consumers. With firms assessing how they are meeting their customers' needs, the FCA will be able to quickly identify practices that do not deliver the right outcomes for consumers and take action before practices become entrenched as market norms. Regulated firms will have to comply with the Consumer Duty from 31 July 2023, with a delayed implementation of 31 July 2024 for products that are closed or not being sold to new investors.

Description Of the many vulnerabilities and threats to the financial services sector, financial crime risk has emerged as a pervasive, yet widely misunderstood category of risk. As consumers, governments, and the financial industry have gained familiarity with various forms of financial crime, financial services organizations have seen that the underlying risk of financial crimes not only includes the direct action taken by criminals, but also includes the impact of deterrence, detection, and resolution on the organization and its customers. Financial services organizations have the difficult task of effectively identifying the greatest risks to themselves and to their customers, protecting both parties against unnecessary risks and satisfying regulatory requirements for greater transparency, awareness, and consolidation of information across the organization. This interactive and engaging programme aims to help participants understand the financial crime regulatory framework; and develop a comprehension on the management of financial crime risks.

Ethics and compliance training is helpful for encouraging appropriate behavior, setting expectations, demonstrating the organization's commitment, and informing employees of laws or regulatory principles that may not be common knowledge. Description This course will help you to increase your personal ethics and explore your obligations to act with integrity in all aspects of your work and professional relationships. You will also appreciate an Ethical Code of Standards and examine how you can prevent bribery and corruption based on a financial regulatory context. Integrity and scruples not only keep us out of court and out of prison, but they are good for business.
