Join Professor Joe McGrath from Sutherland School of Law, UCD and Mary Gordon, Deputy Register, IOB, to discuss how identityand character are fundamental to the individual and the ethical core of our Financial Services entities.

Looking towards individual accountability and an accountability framework, this webinar will examine the potential for the professionalisation of financial services and explore how further professionalisation can help to shift industry-wide norms, not just individual behaviours.

You will also hear an evaluation of moral identity and character, their hierarchy and inter-relationship, gaining insights into what and who we are, and what we stand for in financial services.

This event will automatically close midnight the day before or if its fully booked.

There is 1 CPD hour for all designations in the area of Ethics.
