Okay, so risk assessment is absolutely vital... For one, it’s an FCA requirement - and we wouldn’t be surprised if you stifled a yawn after reading that! But, if firms do not have a thorough risk management process, they are putting their firm, employees, and clients at risk. Not only that, but also the overall integrity of the financial services sector.

So, we know how important it is, but what exactly is it? What do the FCA want to see? How do you implement a thorough process within your firm? That’s where this module can help. We’ve also tried our hardest to make risk assessment exciting... you're welcome!

This module is defined by four units. They are:

  • Introduction to risk
  • Assessment and management
  • Systems and controls
  • Vulnerable clients

During this module, you will:

  • Understand what risk actually is! As well as how risk is an important factor to all aspects of the firm and the wider sector.
  • Outline what the FCA expect to see from firms, with some ideas on how to approach this.
  • Explain how systems and controls relate to employees, financial crime, and general compliance.
  • Identify the key drivers of vulnerability and outline the actions a firm could take in order to embed the support of vulnerable clients.
