DESCRIPTION
During September 2016 new rules came into being requiring certain regulated firms to ensure that their existing whistleblowing arrangements were sufficiently robust and fit for purpose. Generally, they apply to insurance companies and banks but this is not to say that inappropriate, unethical and sometimes illegal activities are not pursued within insurance intermediaries and other similar firms associated with the provision of insurance policies.
This course is designed to highlight the requirements of the new rules, many if not all of which may well be suitable for other regulated firms.
OBJECTIVES
By the end of this course, you will:
- Understand the new whistle blowing rules being issued by the regulators
- Know which firms are bound by the new rules and
- Appreciate why firms not bound by the rules may still benefit from adopting them
