AFB Training Workshop: Foundation Level – Looking at Conduct through the Lens of Culture

The Foundation Level – Looking at Conduct through the Lens of Culture course will take place over a full day and is split into 3 modules under Chatham House Rule:

• Workshops – a mix of plenary, breakouts and group exercises. Content will focus on bringing the subject to life through case studies and industry examples. This session will be highly interactive, and all participants can expect to be able to share and discuss ideas and experiences
• Key takeaways – delegates will receive a summary take away, containing core content, models and suggested further reading

The course takes a holistic view of conduct risk and is aimed at all functions, with a particular interest for risk, compliance, and HR professionals, as well as those who are wishing to gain a deeper understanding of how they can minimise the conduct risks their organisation or function may be exposed to.
