Regulatory Investigations Workshop
2026-06-17 08:00 - 17:00 (Europe/London) | Credit Agricole CIB, Broadwalk House, 5 Appold St, London, EC2A 2DA, United Kingdom
Master the Complexities of UK Financial Services Regulatory Investigations
A Collaboration Between ACi and Leading Industry Experts, Richardson Lissak LLP and FTI Consulting.

Register

Almost a decade after the introduction of the Senior Managers & Certification Regime (SMCR) and Conduct Rules, financial services organisations continue to face significant challenges in implementing and reporting on these critical aspects of conduct regulation. The FCA is strengthening and expanding regulations for non-bank firms and its Conduct Rules to explicitly cover serious non-financial misconduct, including bullying, harassment, and sexual violence—as a breach of conduct.
But other sectors are also impacted. Regulation underpins and impacts almost all areas of the UK economy. The UK regulatory system has great strengths, built on a firm foundation of operational independence and stability, and other countries have drawn lessons from UK approaches.
In this special workshop, led by the ACi, Richardson Lissak and FTI Consulting, we will explore all the issues and challenges around regulatory investigations, and give delegates practical tips and insightful tools to take away.

Full agenda here.

ACi Commodities Trading Investigations Forum
2026-09-17 12:00 - 19:30 (Europe/London) | Schellenberg Wittmer, 15bis rue des Alpes, Geneva 1, Switzerland
A trading firm is suddenly confronted with a fast‑moving compliance crisis. Regulators are asking questions, key decisions must be made under pressure, and critical facts are buried across emails, chats, company documents, the internet and third‑party records. The clock is running: preserve data, protect privilege, stabilize stakeholders, and rapidly understand what happened – being AI-assisted – before public misinformation and possible regulatory actions fill the gaps.
In this forum, we will walk through a realistic, end‑to‑end investigation journey – from “first hour” triage and governance, to AI‑assisted OSINT and rapid document review, to a live internal Subject witness interview and the boardroom decisions that follow. Expect interactive, scenario‑driven sessions showcasing practical resources, decision frameworks, and options you can apply immediately in commodities trading investigations.

The transport and logistics sector sits at the intersection of some of the most demanding and fast-moving regulatory environments in UK industry. Operators, investigators and compliance professionals face a landscape shaped by the Traffic Commissioner regime, the Health & Safety Executive, law enforcement, employment law, and an evolving patchwork of fraud prevention and anti-money laundering obligations, often all at once, and often following a single incident.

This Forum is designed specifically for the professionals doing that work.

Who Should Attend
If your work touches transport compliance, driver conduct, supply chain integrity or regulatory enforcement, you’ll find the afternoon directly relevant. This forum brings together corporate investigators, fleet and compliance managers, legal and regulatory professionals, HR teams working in logistics, and risk and insurance specialists, all grappling with the same complex, high-stakes environment.
Equally importantly, you’ll be in a room full of peers who understand the specific pressures of this industry. That’s often worth as much as the agenda itself.
