SUMMARY:PIMFA Learning: Consumer Duty Series - Session 2: Engaging with Third Parties
DESCRIPTION:With fundamental regulatory change like the introduction of the Consumer Duty\, the problem for firms both large and small often isn’t with planning – many strategies are well developed – but with execution. The Consumer Duty series tackles the implementation of Consumer Duty head-on to provide PIMFA member firms with a well-structured approach for Project Leads\, Compliance & Risk Heads alongside Senior Managers to confidently meet the July deadline. \nYou will return from each of the three sessions with a set of tools and approaches you can use to: \n\n\n\nImprove your ability to organise\, manage\, and prioritise the key requirements of the Duty\nAnticipate and avoid pitfalls that could derail your project plan.\nRespond to FCA’s latest announcements and instructions.\nAddress your firm’s most critical Consumer Duty issues.\nFeedback and answers to your Consumer Duty execution challenges\n\n\n\nSession Two: Engaging with Third Parties \nPIMFA member firms are relying significantly on their third parties to transmit quality information\, particularly relating to the consumer support outcome.  Firms need to give detailed thought to the type\, timing and volume of information they need from their third-party service providers to test consumer outcomes. \nFurthermore\, manufacturers and distributors are required to share information required by each for monitoring outcomes. While augmentation of existing templates may be helpful\, these are unlikely to meet all firms’ requirements. \nThis session (that you can attend in person or online) will focus on: \n\n\n\nEngagement strategies with third-party suppliers to access information to monitor customer outcomes.\nThe additional information you may need to share between manufacturers and distributors\, and what is the most efficient way to achieve this.\n\n\n\nBy the end of this session\, you will be able to: \n\n\n\nKnow what’s an appropriate level of detail you will require from product providers.\nRecognise the pitfalls of relying on PROD and COLL for meeting the Consumer Duty Products and Services and Fair Value outcomes.\nLearn how large and small firms are effectively and efficiently gaining the information they need from their third-party suppliers.\nAddress information flow challenges\, exploring with peers how to optimise information flow between manufacturers and distributors.\n\n\n\nFormat and approach \nYou can choose to attend this two-hour session in person at the PwC London office or online. However you choose to participate\, this session is run as an interactive learning experience that brings the research and experience of the PwC Wealth Management team together with senior managers who want to strengthen their firms’ approach to Consumer Duty implementation. In this online workshop\, you will be broken into smaller discussion groups to work through exercises\, discuss scenarios and collaborate with your peers on solutions to overcome even your most challenging execution obstacles.

SUMMARY:PIMFA Live Online Learning: T&C under Consumer Duty: What You Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:To ensure your people are prepared to meet the ‘biggest regulatory overhaul in a decade’ PIMFA member firms would be advised to dust off and stress test their approach to Training and Competency (T&C) before the new Consumer Duty comes into force in July 2023. \nWhy is T&C so critical under the new Consumer Duty? \nTaking centre stage of your approach to Consumer Duty is your firm’s ability to practice and demonstrate to the FCA that all your people are aligned and focused on delivering and evidencing good customer outcomes against new and more stringent regulatory expectations. Your firm’s approach to T&C plays a critical role in showing\, not just telling the regulator that your advisor population is acting in good faith\, proactively avoiding foreseeable harm\, and supporting customers to pursue their financial objectives. \nIn this live\, interactive\, and practical training session\, delivered by a senior T&C practitioner we take HR\, L&D\, Operations\, Compliance\, and T&C professionals’ who are looking to: \n\nGet to grips with what good T&C looks like under the new Consumer Duty\nAdapt their approach to T&C against the expectations of the new Consumer Duty\nIdentify and close any T&C gaps or blind spots that might hamper their firm from achieving the outcomes that the FCA will be looking for under the new Consumer Duty\nAssure the board and senior executives that your firm’s approach to T&C meets the cross-cutting rules and the four outcomes before the July 2023 deadline\nFor additional guidance on how to conduct supervised T&C assessments under the new Consumer Duty\n\nBy the end of the session\, you’ll be able to: \n\nUpdate and reposition your approach to T&C appropriate to the new Consumer Duty\nAnalyse the changes that are needed to support a consumer outcome approach rather than one that is compliance driven\nConfidently answer challenges on how your T&C framework supports clients pursue their financial objectives\nDemonstrate to stakeholders including the board\, internal audit\, and the regulator how your approach to people competence and capability management achieves ‘good customer outcomes’.\n\n

SUMMARY:PIMFA Webinar: Imposter or talented over-achiever? Nov 2023
DESCRIPTION:Even though you’ve achieved some success in your career\, do you sometimes feel like an imposter? \nThe Imposter Syndrome is now recognised as a commonplace work experience – especially for career women. It has them attributing their success to luck\, discounting their capabilities and fearing being ex-posed as a fraud. They constantly strive for better results and are generally high achievers as a result – all-though are very unlikely to recognise this. \nHowever\, this over-achieving can lead to burn-out from an overly driven need to succeed. Or\, fear of failure and being found out as a fraud can stop them from stepping up to opportunities that will help them develop their skills\, gain experience and progress their careers. Sheryl Sandberg (COO of Facebook and author of ‘Lean In: Women\, Work\, and the Will to Lead’) says that\, to lean in fully\, women need to get comfortable with their success. When women fully own and appreciate their value\, they can\, then\, denounce the demands and accusations of their internal ‘imposter gremlin’ and embrace and enjoy success. \nWebinar structure: \nDuring this interactive session\, we will investigate the Imposter Syndrome – what it is\, how it can impact performance and how to shift the attitudes that underpin it. You will have the opportunity to explore the impact of the Imposter Syndrome both at a personal level and more widely. Coach and trainer\, Caroline Holt\, will share a simple-to-use and very effective technique for recognising and appreciating your own capabilities and helping others to do the same. You will have the opportunity to practise this during the webinar.\nWebinar take-aways: \n• A greater recognition and appreciation of the value that you bring to a project or organisation\n• Increased motivation to reach for more\n• A powerful technique in your toolkit for building core confidence and inspiring yourself and others to step up to bigger challenges

SUMMARY:PIMFA Webinar: Subject Access Requests: How To Recognise\, Handle and Respond Proportionately!
DESCRIPTION:According to a recent survey\, ‘60% of professionals surveyed across financial services have reported an increase in DSARs over the past year’ and ‘51% have received complaints from data subjects about a data subject access request (DSARs)’. \nThis is not surprising – customers and clients who are unhappy\, or want to find out information which is held on them\, are more cognisant than ever of their rights under DSARS\, and very few employee disputes these days come unaccompanied by a DSAR. \nGiven this\, and the fact that DSARs can be a significant drain on resources and can (very importantly) lead to the provision of information and documentation which was never intended to be made public\, they need to be managed carefully. \nIn this FREE 60-minute webinar\, Richard Preece will speak to Chris Holme and Sarah Riceman from Clyde & Co. They have been managing DSARs (including in relation to large disputes)\, and complaints\, between them for 20 years – and have a huge body of experience around how to manage DSARs\, the legal requirements\, and the ICO’s expectations.  They will discuss how PIMFA member firms can: \n\nReact and respond to a DSAR with professionalism and speed\nEnsure they are correctly identifying and redacting information so as to not disclose any information the requester is not entitled to\nIdentify when a request is manifestly unfounded and excessive and respond appropriately\nRegardless of size\, have effective management in place to efficiently respond to DSARs\nBe prepared for any regulatory scrutiny and enforcement action when handling DSARs
