Upcoming Seminars / Events
The QFC Regulatory Authority is organizing its third seminar on the Conduct of Business Rulebook (COND) on Wednesday 23 June, from 9:00 – 12 noon.
This session will cover Chapters 5 and 6 of COND and is, therefore, aimed at insurers and intermediaries conducting non-investment (general) insurance business. Priority will be given to attendees from those firms but all insurance firms are welcome to attend.
The aim of these seminars is to help firms better understand the requirements of COND and the Regulatory Authority’s expectations with regard to the firm’s policies, procedures, systems and controls. The seminar is directly aimed at Compliance Officers and Customer Facing Functions, although you might decide that it is more appropriate for someone else within your organisation to also attend.
Initially the number of participants per firm will be limited to a maximum of 3. Subject to space availability and restrictions, we may be able to accommodate more participants from your firm.
