Travers Smith's Alternative Insights: Accountability drives culture

In this week's issue of Travers Smith's Alternative Insights, we are looking at non-financial misconduct, and how accountability drives culture.FCA sharpens oversight: The UK regulator is finalising new rules on non-financial misconduct, extending its scrutiny beyond the office and setting clearer standards for personal and workplace behaviour.Manager accountability grows: Managers must actively prevent bullying and harassment, or risk personal liability under the Conduct Rules if they fail to act.Culture change expected: Firms can no longer dismiss poor behaviour as business as usual, with the FCA aiming to shift the conversation from 'Sexism in the City' to 'Accountability in the Office'.Links: https://www.ft.com/content/2e4df2fe-d2ae-46aa-bd00-d031a037bb44https://www.traverssmith.com/knowledge/knowledge-container/new-fca-guidance-on-non-financial-misconduct/
