Compliance Culture Podcast | Ep 1: Why Consumer Duty is a Seismic Shift in Regulation

In this episode of the Compliance Culture Podcast, host Lucinda Carney, Chartered Psychologist and CEO of Actus Software, speaks with Keith Richards, Chief Executive Officer of the Consumer Duty Alliance, a respected leader in the financial services sector with over four decades of executive experience, Keith is known for championing ethical standards and consumer-focused practices across the section. Together, they explore what it really means to embed an ethical culture in practice, not just through compliance controls, but through values, behaviour, and leadership. Keith and Lucinda delve into the human side of compliance, emphasising that it’s about ethical behaviour and empathy, not just following rules. They highlight how ethical leadership builds trust and psychological safety, with leaders’ role-modelling the right behaviours to encourage open, accountable cultures. The conversation also explores how firms embed values into daily operations by aligning HR, compliance, and leadership frameworks, ensuring professional standards are reflected in training, performance, and decision-making. Key Takeaways • Ethics and empathy should form the foundation of a strong compliance culture, guiding behaviour beyond simply following rules. • The FCA’s Consumer Duty places vulnerability at the heart of delivering good outcomes, recognising it as a shared and ever-changing responsibility across all teams. • Leaders play a crucial role in building trust by consistently role-modelling ethical behaviour and fostering psychological safety within their organisations. • Embedding values into everyday operations, through HR, compliance, and leadership frameworks, helps ensure long-term sustainability and integrity. • Compliance is most effective when it empowers individuals to make sound, ethical decisions, rather than simply enforcing control.
