When we talk about ‘conduct risk’ we often go on to describe the risk of customer or client product controls failing, or maybe, 'treating customers unfairly'. And, as we know, conduct is on the radar of regulators, leading to penalties or even delicensing. This course leads you through strategies for auditing this subject.

Who should attend?

• Open to all.
• This course lends itself to a collaborative and interactive style, therefore numbers will be restricted to five.

What will I learn?

Upon completion you will be able to:

• identify and define the difference between conduct risk and other types of risk
• understand how conduct risk can be qualitatively or quantitatively measured
• be able to undertake an audit of conduct risk within your organisation.
