Introduction to UK Financial Regulation

NEDs are an important part of a firm's governance and provide independence and oversight. In addition to complying with the statutory and fiduciary duties, NEDs in financial services have regulatory obligations.

The Conduct Rules set the standard of personal conduct for everyone in financial services. NEDs are subject to higher standards and a higher level of accountability than others in the firm. 

Our Conduct Rules for Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) course outlines which conduct rules apply to NEDs.

Hear from our customers

They listened to our needs and helped tailor the existing course to our organisation with ease, ensuring accessibility requirements were maintained and the training was engaging and presentable. All their help was been very appreciated and I couldn't have asked them to do any more for us. I would recommend Skillcast to anyone looking to bring in new training modules to their organisation.
