The benefits this course for you and your business
Any person working in the financial services sector who has contact with customers or clients may potentially be in the firing line when it comes to complaints. The fewer complaints received the less familiar you will be with the regulatory procedures and how to deal with them.
Although your firm may never have had a complaint, in today’s culture of blame and claim there is no end to the ways a complaint might materialise whether justified or not.
It is essential reputationally and financially for all personnel in financial services to have a good working knowledge of the complaints regime.
Misinformation can escalate complaints and make them time consuming and perhaps costly out of all proportion.
This is what you will find out in this online course:
- The regulatory rules for dealing with complaints
- When must they be reported to the Financial Services Authority
- How must they be acknowledged
- What steps can be taken to avoid formal reporting
- The test of what constitutes an eligible complaint
- Procedures and record keeping rules for complaints
- Who is eligible to take their complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service?
- Regulatory reporting requirements for complaints.
