Join IOB and Níall Fitzgerald, Head of Ethics and Governance at Chartered Accountants Ireland, for a conversation about the key ethical considerations facing financial services professionals in 2025. Níall will explore the relevant and trending ethical issues which financial services professionals need to be aware of, including: ensuring the ethical use of AI, confidentiality, transparency and privacy ethics, the power of engaging in ethical discussions, and addressing professional ethical challenges that arise in a volatile world.
We will also be joined by Margaret Darcy, Programme Director at IOB for Funds and Wealth Planning, who will moderate a Q&A with Níall.
