Gender disparity within the financial sector is still an issue on a global scale, with women holding approximately 21% of board seats, 19% of c-suite roles, and only 5% of CEO positions as of last year. A lack of diversity within finance teams not only prevents overall business success, but also demonstrates an increased business risk with regard to financial crime.
We are hosting an in-person networking event in Manchester on 23rd November, in collaboration with the International Compliance Association, exploring the diversity issue in Financial Crime prevention and looking at varying experiences in reaching leadership.
Discussion points
Diversity at leadership and why companies are struggling to meet diversity goals
Barriers women are facing and roadblocks to leadership
Addressing the gender pay gap in FinCrime
The glass-ceiling in Compliance and Financial Services
The importance of top-down diversity
Mentorship as a two-way process
Paving the way for the future of women in FinCrime
