Non-Financial Misconduct in Financial Services: Where Are We Now?

Over the summer, the Financial Conduct Authority provided its long-awaited update on its proposed next steps in dealing with non-financial misconduct in regulated firms.

The consultation paper signals a significant fleshing-out of the regulatory approach to sexual harassment, discrimination, bullying and other non-financial misconduct, including where conduct outside the workplace may be relevant.

Our speakers will discuss:

• The proposed handbook updates and changes to the Conduct Rules and Fitness and Propriety test
• What non-financial misconduct is from the regulator's perspective
• Guidance on when the regulator expects allegations of non-financial misconduct to have regulatory consequences, and what those consequences may be
• When conduct outside work may have regulatory implications
• Key steps financial services employers should take in readiness for the implementation of the changes

The webinar will be of interest to HR and internal counsel working in any organisation that is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK.
