Conduct Risk Suite

• The overview is the first course in the Conduct Risk series. It provides an introduction to mitigating behavior-based risk, or 'conduct risk', as a way to benefit customers and clients.
• Conduct Risk Suite: Conflicts of Interest
• In the wake of the financial crisis, regulators have targeted the behavioral aspects of firms and their business activities. The crisis revealed that a 'check-the-box' compliance mind-set is not sufficient. In addition to following the rules, firms must also improve the intangible factors that affect risk in order to prevent future problems. To put it another way, firm culture and actions need to reflect a 'should we' attitude rather than simply checking whether business decisions satisfy the 'can we' question in order to minimize conduct risk.
