Join Michelle Kirschner, Matthew Nunan, Steve Melrose and Martin Coombes in a review of financial services regulatory developments in 2020 and what these developments indicate about the future regulatory direction of travel.
The webinar will provide an overview of the regulatory landscape, now and in the coming years, through the prism of three areas of increasing regulatory focus: (1) governance, culture and individual accountability; (2) conduct and enforcement; and (3) operational and financial resilience. We will provide practical guidance to firms to ensure continuing compliance with regulatory expectations in each of these three areas. We will then focus on the UK’s post-Brexit regulatory framework including the potential for regulatory divergence and the UK’s role on the global stage.
We also invite you to read our recent UK Financial Services Regulation – 2020 Year-End Review published on 14 January.
