Ethics Session - Criminal Charges, Convictions and Conduct Issues: Lessons from Securities Regulation

Criminal charges and convictions need to be disclosed. Can they affect your ability to pursue your livelihood?

Drawing on real-world cases and regulatory insight from the securities industry, they’ll explore the consequences of non-disclosure, which charges or convictions are considered by regulators even if disclosed, and how professionals can protect themselves and the integrity of the industry. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of compliance, responsibility, and how regulators analyze questions of integrity that arise on and off the job.
