Hello 2026! What have you got in store for us this year in compliance? How many updates, regulation changes, and new legislation have you got up your sleeve?
Our weeks go by in a flash and, even with every good intention, it is hard to keep up to date with compliance. Not a week, or sometimes, even a day goes by without some change or update, and this means we were all busy updating our policies, risk assessments, and other documentation and training to ensure our firm and our people stay compliant. There’s so much to juggle! How do we keep ourselves updated? Have we missed anything along the way?
So what if you could get all of the updates in one place?
Well, now you can. This session will cover the major changes and updates in the legislation, regulations, publications and news and let you know what the supervisory bodies are up to and their latest releases. It will cover changes that have been released in the last quarter.
This will be an informative session giving you a practical guide to keeping up to date with the latest changes.
