Insolvency Support Services launches compliance awareness online learning
Insolvency Support Services’ training division, ISS Training, has launched an innovative new Compliance Awareness Online Learning course.
The launch has added an online learning platform to the firm’s course delivery methods.
The course is delivered in four topical modules: anti-money laundering, data privacy, vulnerability awareness, and ethics and professional standards.
Alison Curry, a director of Insolvency Support Services, said: “We have developed this course in this format to assist insolvency practices manage compliance risks cost-effectively, meet their training obligations and protect their firm’s reputation. These days insolvency practitioners and their teams must have a sound knowledge of practice areas beyond the scope of technical insolvency training.
“There have been significant legislative changes in the areas of anti-money laundering and data protection, vulnerability awareness is high on the political agenda, and ethics and professional standards issues continue to dominate the complaints mailboxes of the regulators.
“If all team members have a good grasp of the essentials of these subjects, they can flag issues with their managers as they arise. Failing to identify an issue in a timely manner presents a risk to the practice that can result in reputational damage to the practice and regulatory sanction for its insolvency practitioners.”
