Transformational Change in Wealth
Presented by our Director, Carl Woodward and in conjunction with Steve Roberts (Head of Transformation at Diligenta), Karl Lawless (Head of Sales at FintechOs) and Simplify Non-Executive Director and Consultant, Warwick Clews, we discuss transformational change post the pandemic. We look at how companies have coped in managing ‘business as usual’ while continuing to deliver transformational change and what some of the impacts of remote working have been on the success of those deliveries.

Strengthening Your Control Environment
Presented by our Director, Kate Monserrate: It’s been a busy 12 months for control functions across the Wealth sector. We’ll show you how you can strengthen your approach to risk and control to minimise the impact of future uncertainties. In this webinar, we’ll look at what’s changed since the start of the pandemic, as well as discussing control failures that have occurred across the sector, to help you avoid the hidden pitfalls.
Our panel of experts will share their perspectives of these challenges and explain potential solutions, including:
• How their experience of the control environment compares with the state of play 12 months ago
• How you can use these insights to help focus your planning for 2021
• And what the future holds in terms of being adaptable to change especially with the dawn of home working and wet signatures no longer being needed
If you’re looking for practical ways to improve your control environment, this is the webinar for you..
