In-house compliance training can be a firm’s first vulnerability or strongest defence

The regulatory environment has been changing and evolving for 25 years. Getting internal standards right, and keeping them contemporary, is an imperative.

The best policies in the world are useless if business staff are not properly informed; and evidence of training is always one of the first questions asked in any investigation.

Regrettably, compliance training has a poor reputation in many firms, and is not always well targeted. When did your Board or Executive Management Team last get compliance training? How do you train the time-starved front office, and how do you keep evidence? Is it appreciated and welcomed, or just ticking a T&C box? Is it just about what the requirements are, or also what they mean in practice?

Prior experience includes:

• Managing Board training – face-to-face on a workshop basis, fostering significant discussion and challenge – and humour – within the group;
• Small group business compliance training – on a similar basis, but very focused on specific business impacts;
• Strategic compliance planning for Compliance Management Teams – focusing on future, rather than just contemporary issues, and how to shape up for them;
• ‘Town Hall’ sessions for up to 250 people, delivering example-based awareness and provoking questions and challenges;
• Computer-based training delivered to global audiences, including tests – creating content and working with a world-leading learning partner for structuring and delivery, including translation, testing and recordkeeping where required;
• Podcast and webcast – enabling large, diverse groups to acquire information at their desks or whilst travelling, taking their needs into account in planning the delivery.
