Over the summer, the Financial Conduct Authority provided its long-awaited update on its proposed next steps in dealing with non-financial misconduct in regulated firms.
The consultation paper signals a significant fleshing-out of the regulatory approach to sexual harassment, discrimination, bullying and other non-financial misconduct, including where conduct outside the workplace may be relevant.
Our speakers discussed:
- The proposed handbook updates and changes to the Conduct Rules and Fitness and Propriety test
- What non-financial misconduct is from the regulator’s perspective
- Guidance on when the regulator expects allegations of non-financial misconduct to have regulatory consequences, and what those consequences may be
- When conduct outside work may have regulatory implications
- Key steps financial services employers should take in readiness for the implementation of the changes
