Published on March 9th, The CBI’s much-anticipated Individual Accountability Framework (IAF / SEAR) represents a new era for regulated firms and their executives / PCF's. Are firms considering and factoring into their preparations the practical lessons learnt from the UK SMCR?
Designed to hold senior decision-makers accountable for their actions (and inactions), implementing the new regime is likely to be a cultural change. Can that be a positive cultural change that drives better commercial and regulatory outcomes?
If you’re interested in building your network, learning from fellow experts, and sharpening your competitive edge in the regulatory world, we hope to see you there.
