To claim your discount book by 13 May, quoting booking code ‘LF20’.
In the second half of 2011 Heads of Risk and Compliance face one of their most difficult challenges. The finalised version of the new SRA handbook will be published which means you will need to change your firm’s practices, introduce new monitoring systems and as it will affect the whole firm, implement training programmes for all staff.
This timely two-day conference will provide you with all the practical information you need, on how the new handbook will affect your firm and how you can put the processes and training in place to remain compliant.
Don’t miss:

- Understand how the COLP and COFA roles will work in practice and who you should appoint to them
- Gain an in-depth understanding of the practical applications of the new SRA Handbook (finalised in April/May 2011) on conflicts, quality and monitoring
- NEW! Benefit from an extended 70 minute worked examples session to determine when you will need to report a problem to the SRA and when you won’t
- NEW! Join a panel debate to discuss what personal financial information you can legitimately ask your partners to disclose
- NEW! Explore in-depth some desensitised examples of file reviews conducted across a range of law firms
- Discuss the interpretation and implementation of the Bribery Act and its implications for anti-money laundering and corruption
- Keep up with an ever-changing political situation in the Middle East to ensure an up-to-date international sanctions policy
