Ethical Conduct (EC) – 2 hours

In today’s complex and interconnected financial landscape, understanding and adhering to ethical principles is paramount within the financial services industry. This module will explore the ethical considerations that play a crucial role in maintaining trust, integrity, and stability. This will guide compliance advisers and financial representatives in making responsible decisions that impact clients, organisations, and the broader society.

Customer Due Diligence and Regulations (CDR) – 4 hours

Regulations form critical aspects of the financial services industry, ensuring that organisations operate within the boundaries of the law, maintain the integrity of the financial system, and protect the interests of clients and stakeholders.
