Professionalism and Ethics
Shape the future of financial services, professionally and ethically.
DEVELOP THE CRITICAL THINKING NEEDED TO ENSURE BANKING OPERATES ETHICALLY THROUGH REGULATION AND STRONG LEADERSHIP.
The financial services sector attracts significant scrutiny, and the leaders that will continue to shape and evolve the profession are the people who prioritise professionalism, ethics and integrity.
Understanding how this leadership impacts a business’s ethics – and how to use this thinking in your day to day, as well as when facing external challenges and environmental pressures – is critical to the success of financial services.
This course was developed for the Australasian market in association with the Chartered Banker Institute (UK) – the only body in the world able to confer the status of Chartered Banker – and is internationally recognised.
