TAL Risk Academy’s Ethics Month returns on Wednesday 7 May, marking the event’s third year.
This year’s courses have been updated to help financial advisers confidently and ethically address complex challenges, including resolving ethical dilemmas, interpreting FSCP decisions, balancing best interest obligations, and applying long-term thinking under Standard 6.
The series of weekly live webinars – presented by TAL’s Technical Experts David Glen and Scott Hoger – will focus on practical, real-world case studies, offering advisers valuable insights into how they can align their practices and comply with the latest professional and ethical standards.
Alongside strengthening their understanding of the Code of Ethics, advisers can earn up to 4 CPD hours in Professionalism and Ethics.
Gavin Teichner, Chief Executive Individual Life at TAL, said: “We believe that strengthening the profession starts with empowering advisers to offer the best and most responsible advice to their clients.
