Are you up to date with all the compliance changes and requirements that may impact your Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL?)

The ever-changing financial services landscape has meant AFSL holders are constantly under the microscope, so it has never been more essential to stay on top of what is happening in the industry and understand the impact of regulatory developments.

The Responsible Manager Forum is designed for existing, new and prospective Responsible Manager audiences, compliance officers, and other senior managers and directors operating within the Australian financial services environment.

Each high-level forum provides participants with a legal, regulatory and advocacy update, and addresses other current topical issues.

A certificate of attendance outlining CPD hours will be awarded at the conclusion of this workshop.

This workshop is not recorded.
