Shared Scotland Webinar, Part 1: Fairer Finance on Consumer Duty

  • Tue 05 Aug 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
  • Online

The Consumer Duty is one of the biggest changes in financial services regulation for 20 years, and it is underpinned by behavioural science. Without behavioural science, the Consumer Duty would be almost unthinkable. The FCA now expects insurers to make good decisions easy for consumers, and bad decisions hard. In this interactive webinar Fairer Finance will cover how to evidence consumer understanding and fair value in an insurance context. Looking to continue the conversation? Join us at 1.00pm for Part 2, for a focussed panel discussion and live Q&A. Please note: Part 2 requires a separate booking for the access link.

Consumer Duty - One Year On with Zing365

  • Wed 06 Nov 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
  • Online

The IASG Young Professional Committee are delighted to bring you this webinar in partnership with Zing365. The initial implementation of the Consumer Duty last July exemplified the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) continued transition from principles-based to more outcomes-based regulation. This shift reflects the regulator's commitment to enhancing consumer focus, trust, and fair treatment, and while the core principles of consumer-centricity are not new, the emphasis on cultural change and tangible outcomes puts a new spin on things. This session aims to provide learners with a broad understanding of the FCA's objectives, requirements, and expectations regarding compliance with the Consumer Duty, while also examining regulatory developments, updates, and the impacts observed, and challenges felt by firms one year after its implementation.
