Conflicts of interest occur when a financial service provider misuses or conceals information, leading to decreased transparency of information flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recognising conflicts of interest is key, particularly with regard to personal, financial and family interests, dealing with customers and suppliers, and handling offers of gifts and entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Anti-bribery &amp; anti-corruption<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Regulators are increasingly clamping down on all forms of bribery, and organisations must now be concerned not only with the laws of the country in which they work, but also additional international laws which may apply to them. It is critical for employees to be educated on recognising red flags and mitigating associated risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top 6 most searched compliance topics\u202f<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We take a look at the top 6&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/legal.thomsonreuters.com.au\/products\/risk-compliance-management\/compliance-learning\/\">compliance learning courses<\/a>&nbsp;that organisations should have in their arsenal to safeguard against risk, penalties or reputational damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/app.connect.thomsonreuters.com.au\/e\/er?s=2141361505&amp;lid=9063&amp;elq=~~eloqua..type--emailfield..syntax--recipientid..encodeFor--url~~\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"293\" src=\"https:\/\/insight.thomsonreuters.com\/sea\/business\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/sites\/24\/2022\/06\/Risk-Infographic_Generic-banner-1-1024x293.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insight.thomsonreuters.com\/sea\/business\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/sites\/24\/2022\/06\/Risk-Infographic_Generic-banner-1-1024x293.png 1024w, https:\/\/insight.thomsonreuters.com\/sea\/business\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/sites\/24\/2022\/06\/Risk-Infographic_Generic-banner-1-300x86.png 300w, https:\/\/insight.thomsonreuters.com\/sea\/business\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/sites\/24\/2022\/06\/Risk-Infographic_Generic-banner-1-768x219.png 768w, https:\/\/insight.thomsonreuters.com\/sea\/business\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/sites\/24\/2022\/06\/Risk-Infographic_Generic-banner-1-740x211.png 740w, https:\/\/insight.thomsonreuters.com\/sea\/business\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/sites\/24\/2022\/06\/Risk-Infographic_Generic-banner-1.png 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why invest in compliance learning?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the largest regulatory fines resulted from staff, senior management or Boards of Directors failing to act and not taking the time to understand compliance issues affecting their organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fostering a culture of compliance within your organisation is an obvious way to avoid penalties and reduce costs.
