This training is designed to provide participants with a robust understanding of the framework and importance of Culture and Good Governance, as it should exist within a regulated Financial Services firm. The course will focus on explaining the regulatory agenda around culture and the expectations on the firms’ and their senior management to implement and maintain good culture.
This seminar shall highlight the role of board of directors and senior management in setting ‘the tone from the top’ within a firm and provide practical examples on what firms should be doing to ensure they embed and monitor culture and conduct of staff in their organisation. It shall also elucidate the role of various governance committees, company secretary processes and the importance of timely and accurate management information in driving key decisions for the firm.
