Course: The Key Individual Role of Stockbroker in Control

The aim of this course is to provide individuals interested in becoming a Stockbroker in Control with the structure, methodology and scope that this key individual (KI) will require.  KIs are those responsible for managing and overseeing the activities relating to the rendering of any financial service.  Managing means to have executive control or authority and overseeing is the function of supervising a person/s and their work in an official capacity.  Where stockbroking firms are concerned, stakeholders reply on the fact that a competent key individual is assuming responsibility for the overall risk management and compliance. 

The Stockbroker in Control is the coordinating and consolidating KI between firms’ external and internal stakeholders.  They preform a key pivotal role of protecting the market and the firm.

Registrations for this course will be open from 1 June 2020.
