Join the Culture & Conduct Deep Dive & Annual Report
Global regulators have made it clear that culture and governance remains a key regulatory priority. In the UK, the FCA has publicly declared its focus to be on four key drivers: purpose, leadership, the firm’s approach to people, and governance, including systems, controls, and oversight for the business. Increased regulatory expectation has placed greater importance on organisations and boards to address behaviours that pose a risk and understand how culture is the root of misconduct.

Although the regulators demand financial institutions to foster positive risk culture, there has been a growing consensus that progress has stagnated. Misconduct cases continue to remain a challenge for financial institutions to manage, and there is a greater need for firms to understand the role culture and conduct plays in their organisation and the role it plays in managing non-financial risk.
