Financial services virtual events

06 May 2021

The financial services sector is changing rapidly in all areas; from regulations and risk management, to technology and even culture. If you're looking for comprehensive and concise information and guidance, you can find support by watching our webinar series on Youtube.

To adapt to changes in the financial services sector, look after your people, and thrive at this critical time, it's vital for organisations to understand the complex challenges facing the industry. The current climate might make looking for guidance seem even more difficult, but our virtual seminars explain everything you need to know and the actions you can take.

We'll be adding new webinars to the events already on the page, so remember to revisit whenever you're looking for support on issues in the financial services sector.

UK regulation post-Brexit

HM Treasury closed its phase-II consultation on the future regulatory framework on 19 February, and will be publishing detailed proposals later in the year. A second more detailed consultation in 2021 will set out specific proposals for how the framework will be delivered, but at the moment it's still unclear what form it will actually take.

During this webinar attendees found out what you can expect the framework to look like and explored some of the issues surrounding regulators’ decision making.

Governance

Learning from the best - Emerging governance trends and practices in financial services

In their recent paper, ‘Improving the quality of comply or explain’, the FRC focused on those policies with which companies regularly fail to comply or come up short when claiming compliance. While helpful, it misses the opportunity to be inspired by what the very best companies are doing. Companies may appear slow to embrace new practices, but improving governance is about evolution, not revolution.

The UK Corporate Governance Code is a distillation of best practice which has evolved over time, and it is surprising that many companies still think of it simply as a compliance exercise rather than a source of great ideas.

Here we share some of the emerging trends and best practices that those leading the way in financial services are wrestling with.
