In this week's issue of Travers Smith's Alternative Insights, we are looking at non-financial misconduct, and how accountability drives culture.

FCA sharpens oversight: The UK regulator is finalising new rules on non-financial misconduct, extending its scrutiny beyond the office and setting clearer standards for personal and workplace behaviour.

Manager accountability grows: Managers must actively prevent bullying and harassment, or risk personal liability under the Conduct Rules if they fail to act.

Culture change expected: Firms can no longer dismiss poor behaviour as business as usual, with the FCA aiming to shift the conversation from 'Sexism in the City' to 'Accountability in the Office'.
