Availability: InStock

Question 1

What is non-financial misconduct?

Accepted Answer

Non-financial misconduct (NFM) covers behaviour unrelated to regulated activities, including bullying, harassment, sexual misconduct, discrimination, and other serious personal conduct issues. The FCA has made clear since 2021 that it considers NFM when assessing whether someone is 'fit and proper' to work in financial services.

Question 2

Can the FCA take action for behaviour outside work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The FCA's fitness and propriety assessment (FIT) considers reputation, character, and honesty. Serious misconduct outside work, such as criminal convictions, harassment, or discriminatory behaviour, can affect regulatory standing.

Question 4

Are quiz answers validated on the server?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Correct answers never leave the server. When a learner submits a quiz, their answers are sent to the server for validation. This prevents cheating and ensures assessment integrity for regulatory purposes.

Question 5

Can I generate my own compliance courses?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On paid plans you can paste your own policy documents and our AI will generate a complete course with modules, lessons, key points, and quiz questions. Every generated course is reviewed and approved by your admin before going live.
