The world of finance is full of laws and regulations. But not everyone working in the financial sector has legal expertise. How do you find your way in all the laws, regulations and standards? How are they connected? Where do regulations come from and what is the status of, for example, a guideline and a directive? In this training we familiarise you with supervisory legislation for financial services: regulations, directives and other legal acts such as guidelines.

The training ‘A guide to regulation’ is intended for employees of financial institutions who are involved in the implementation of regulations in their day-to-day practice.
