AFB is once again running a Masterclass in conjunction with A&O Shearman for existing established Senior Manager Function holders (SMFs) performing different designations at AFB member firms.

Experts from A&O Shearman will share expected good practice for SMFs including effective decision making, individual accountability as well as insight into how Management Information can provide appropriate oversight.

This masterclass will share insights into how SMFs can effectively manage the relationship with the regulator to ensure appropriate outcomes for themselves and their firms. The course will draw together themes and trends from enforcement cases, speeches, supervisory messaging in relation to thematic reviews and policy developments.

The session will include the following:

• intelligence and lessons learned by A&O Shearman lead partners
• discussion and peer learning with fellow attendees and participants
• guided case studies/scenarios to explore relevant themes and illustrate key messages/lessons learned from the last 12 months
