In the eighth episode of season 5 of the Compliance Clarified podcast, Susannah Hammond is joined by Lindsey Rogerson, Todd Ehret and David Bickley (from Thomson Reuters Practical Law) to take a look at the future of financial services and the sheer breadth of the regulatory change agenda.

Compliance officers will be all too familiar with regulatory change – it is the gift that keeps on giving and regulatory change management is a core competency for all risk and compliance functions.

So what are the hotspot areas likely to need compliance attention in the coming months and years? Well as a short but dense list there is ESG, sanctions, the shift of the regulatory perimeter to capture more crypto marketplace activity, the focus on increasingly vulnerable customers as the cost of living crisis bites as well as shifting regulatory expectations when it comes to all aspects of operational resilience. And that is before considering the how of financial services regulation and the spectre of personal liability.
