Summary
The 11th Annual Culture and Conduct Forum builds on the success of the previous editions, all of which have been very well attended and highly rated. This event has become the ‘must attend’ event on this topic for the UK financial services industry.
This prestigious summit brings together financial services industry leaders and other experts to discuss the latest developments in culture and conduct and to share best practice. This year’s programme combines both regulatory and strategic themes.
On the regulatory side, it explores the importance of culture in the context of the FCA’s regulation for growth strategy; the board's role in shaping culture and establishing effective corporate governance; leadership, senior management accountability and reform of the SMCR; non-financial misconduct: practical implications of the FCA’s latest guidance; and the evolution of the Consumer Duty as the government strives to create a retail investment culture.
The strategic themes include how to implement a global cultural change programme; the critical role of stewardship in creating and maintaining a healthy corporate culture; the intersect between future skills and culture; longevity leadership: culture in a new demographic era; and the impact of AI on the future of the financial services industry and its culture.
This event is always oversubscribed so early booking is recommended,
