If you're called for interview by the CBI, mock interviews is how best to prepare.
BUT HOW MUCH PREPARATION? Does your preparation need to be intense or can you get away with a lighter version of preparation? And how do we know which level in which situation? One size does not fit all, by any means, and yet, with so many invitations to come meet the Regulator taking place right now, patterns are clearly emerging. Preparation patterns for instance: If it is only a single individual being called for what could be considered standard reasons, a lite preparatio

We received a query through our #WWRD - [What Would the Regulator Do] channel. A query that tends to show up daily. Every event, linkedin messages, phone calls, it's a popular con versation.

I have been called for a second Fitness & Probity interview by the Central Bank of Ireland. Help.

#WWRD; [What Would the Regulator Do] Episode 2: Why is the CBI still banging on about diversity?
Birds of a feather tend to think, act, question, and want the same things. Diversity usually compels different conversations. Different people ask different questions. They are more inclined to challenge each others thinking to weave in multiple perspectives into one ideal output. Regulated firms are frustrated with trying to grow a business while being continuously invited to look back at past performance. The Regulator is looking for evidence that things are in fact differ

#WWRD; What Would the Regulator Do launches today looking at the 'annoying' CBI and SEAR
Sometimes it's helpful to have an ex-regulator's perspective that is anchored between a financial regulator's perspective and a regulated firm's perspective. Of course, bridging the two perspectives facilitates an ideal outcome that lends itself to both parties. How we bridge those two perspectives requires patience, skill, experience and the absence of having one agenda over another. We ran an announcement over on Linkedin introducing the concept last night with an invitatio
