Ethics in action: Navigating regulation, client relationships and financial risk

Ethics in action
Ellen Bessner
Chris Mathers

Ethics is at the foundation of every successful advisory practice, but today's environment requires advisors to navigate increasingly complex regulatory expectations, client relationships and financial risks.

Join us for a special webcast examining ethics through multiple lenses. Peter Bowen, Fidelity's Vice President of Tax and Retirement Research, will sit down with Andrea Rigobon, Director Legal Services, for an update on the evolving regulatory landscape, including key developments related to CIRO's advisor incorporation proposal.

Ellen Bessner, leading defence lawyer for advisors and dealers in regulatory matters and litigation, explores the ethical challenges that can arise when working with senior clients and the pitfalls advisors face when professional boundaries become blurred.

Former RCMP investigator and corporate intelligence expert Chris Mathers shares practical insights on protecting clients from fraud, scams, financial exploitation and cybersecurity threats.

Gain actionable guidance to help strengthen your judgment, reinforce client trust and navigate ethical challenges with confidence.

This webcast will be presented in English with live French, Mandarin and Cantonese audio interpretation.
