What will 2017 hold for integrity? It seems that every second news report impugns the ethical credentials of the President-elect. We are holding an open session at 0845 on 21 February 2017* to talk about the FCA Conduct Rule which states "You must act with integrity". Integrity in financial services, in employment, in public office, and in life is fundamentally about moral standards. Where is the bar? Can it move? And who decides whether the "standards" have been met? Please join us in the conversation.
This session is free of charge. Please contact francesca.hand@byrnedean.com to book your place.
