Introduction to the Role of Compliance

Overview

The Compliance function plays a vital role within a financial services firm. Regulators internationally have high expectations of those who hold compliance responsibilities.

This course is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the role and responsibilities of the Compliance function. It also explores the practical aspects of compliance, including compliance monitoring, as well as some of the challenges that can arise.

The workshop is highly-interactive and engaging, with practical exercises and discussion of real-life scenarios. Participants are encouraged to consider the application of what they have learnt, and to ask questions throughout the course.

Who is this for?

This course is ideal for anyone who requires an understanding of the role of Compliance within a financial services firm, including:

  • Compliance professionals
  • Senior managers with compliance responsibilities
  • Legal, Audit, Risk and Operations

Virtual Delivery

Our virtual training courses are designed to be every bit as engaging as our in-person courses. To achieve this, our trainers use market-leading technology and a range of training techniques to ensure high levels of interaction with participants. Courses include the use of:

  • Virtual ‘break-out’ rooms: participants are divided into virtual rooms to facilitate small group discussion.
  • Polling: multiple-choice questions, answered anonymously, allow the trainer to assess knowledge and understanding across the group.
  • Case studies: true to life case studies and scenarios are used to highlight the practical application of theoretical knowledge.
  • Messaging: participants can submit questions and comments, either to the whole group or privately to the trainer.

Additional Benefits:

  • Recording: public course participants have the option to access a recording of the course for one month after the course. In-House clients also have the option to record their training for an additional fee.

  • On-going Q&A: public course participants can access an ongoing Q&A facility allowing them to ask questions relating to the course.

 

In-Person Delivery

Our in-person training is delivered face to face at your offices, and includes:

  • ‘In-the-moment’ questions & discussions: questions through conversations allow the trainer to assess knowledge and understanding across the group.
  • Case studies: true to life case studies and scenarios are used to explore practical application of theoretical knowledge.
  • Q&A: participants can ask questions during training, either to the whole group or privately to the trainer.
