You will emerge better able to tackle your firms toughest CASS audit challenges\, lead with greater CASS knowledge\, and inspire assurance at all levels in your firm that your next CASS audit is a success.

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

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
