What is the regulatory road ahead? We can give you a roadmap for the next few years. Many people are struggling to get to grips with the latest laws or regulations that are being enacted or will be in the next couple of years. They feel that Parliament has gone mad – that it is creating laws faster than ever before, laws which are important and have a far-reaching impact on business, especially financial service providers. Think of the:

Each of them have regulations which often contain lengthy (and perhaps even hard to understand) details. They all overlap with each other. But one question is: how do they affect the laws that already exist? To add further confusion, the commencement of some of them has been delayed. People are feeling overwhelmed, that keeping up with regulatory developments is an impossible task.

Are you aware of the laws that apply to your organisation?

We offer a presentation, seminar, workshop, or executive briefing on this topic by an expert with practical experience.

We have not yet set dates for our next public workshops.

Two or more delegates qualify for a 10% discount. We will serve lunch and refreshments. We limit delegate numbers, so bookings are done on a first come, first served basis. We aim to give practical insights that you can use to be effective. We do not give law lectures!

Very intelligent, experienced and educated people often attend our workshops. They usually know more about their fields than we do, so we see ourselves as facilitators helping the group to explore the topic. We always encourage people to add their value at any stage.

  • We have significant practical experience dealing with these specific areas.
  • Our sessions are interactive – you are able to ask questions, have your specific issues dealt with, and influence the discussion-points.
  • Our sessions are tailored to the attendees – we ask you questions in advance so that we know what your issues are and your existing level of knowledge.
  • We do not give sales pitches, which is unfortunately so often what speakers do at conferences.
  • We provide insight and simplify the issues, which can only be done after practically applying laws to real business issues.
  • We empower you and do not try to entrench ourselves in your organisation.
  • We cover the same ground in one day, rather than two. This saves you time and money. We tell you what you need to know, not everything.
