The regulatory view - Horizon scanning for financial services firms

2023 has seen the development of regulatory frameworks in the areas of individual accountability, ESG reporting, cryptoasset services, retail investments and operational resilience. Each of these frameworks will impact a different population of regulated firms, but all are due to take effect in the short to medium term.

Register for our five-part webinar series where we aim to de-mystify the new rules and discuss their practical effect on Irish firms.

Each webinar will be 30 minutes long and will provide you with:

• a ‘101- back to basics’ introduction: what are the rules and what are they trying to achieve;
• the timeline for when action needs to be taken;
• the impact on business and financial services sector; and
• what you need to prioritise right now.
