TAL Risk Academy is set to deliver a learning program focused on the Financial Planners and Advisers Code of Ethics that will count towards advisers’ CPD requirements.

This would comprise four webinars, which would cover the latest industry requirements and obligations to assist advisers in their compliance with the ethics code, as part of its “Ethics Month” throughout May.

Beau Riley, TAL general manager for retail sales and new business, said Ethics Month was created to support advisers in developing their critical thinking, decision-making, and communication skills.

“The four live webinars will cover the latest industry requirements and obligations. The courses have been developed to give advisers access to our technical team’s expertise and insights around how to navigate and comply with the Code of Ethics, ensuring the best outcomes for clients,” he said.

Riley added that the program would offer insights and tools that can be applied in practical, real-world scenarios.

Along with Ethics Month, TAL Risk Academy also announced an interactive workshop offering for Professional Year new entrants to complement the new series. 

Facilitated by TAL national technical manager, David Glen, it would involve real client scenarios and consider how the Code of Ethics would apply through a live discussion with participants.

Recent data from Kaplan Professional had found digital modules around ethics and professionalism were among the most popular offerings for advisers in 2022.

Industry professionals had previously highlighted the difficulty in achieving the required nine hours of ethics and professional CPD, while firms had agreed it was “quite a challenge” to provide the content.
