AI presents immense opportunity and risk for Financial Services. Regulated financial services providers need to ensure that they have appropriate accountability and governance structures in place to meet the requirements of the UK regulators, including those of the Senior Managers Regime. Senior Managers must take steps to ensure that they address the impact of AI when considering whether the business is controlled effectively, relevant legal and regulatory requirements are complied with, responsibilities are appropriately delegated and required regulatory disclosures are understood and made.
This course is tailored to the needs of Senior Managers in Financial Services. Course participants will learn from experienced instructors and their fellow participants who face similar challenges in addressing AI risk in the regulated context.
Before attending, participants will receive a study guide outlining the key course materials. Lunch will be provided and a drinks reception has been arranged for the end of the day. A follow up Q&A session will take place after completion.
On successful completion Senior Managers will receive a certificate and digital badge that may be attached to online profiles confirming the training received and competence acquired.
