Included Modules:

Setting the Scene: Global Accountability Frameworks

Introduces the global landscape of manager accountability regimes and why regulators worldwide now hold senior individuals personally responsible for conduct failures.

European and US Accountability Regulations

Examines the UK’s SM&CR personal-accountability regime and explains how the US instead relies on broader Dodd-Frank-era rules, with no direct equivalent.

APAC Accountability Regulations

Explores Asia Pacific regimes such as Australia’s FAR and Hong Kong’s MIC, which define accountable individuals and their core management duties.

Managing Risk Before It Escalates

Shows managers how to spot, escalate, and address conduct and compliance risks early, before small issues grow into wider regulatory breaches.

Management Decision Making

Explains how to make and document sound decisions under accountability regimes, demonstrating the reasonable steps regulators expect from senior managers.

Cultural Expectation Setting

Looks at how managers shape a healthy compliance culture by modelling behaviour, setting clear expectations, and reinforcing accountability across their teams.

Why is this training important for workplaces?

Managers carry the weight of accountability for their teams, and when they operate across borders, the expectations shift with every country’s labor laws, reporting duties, and cultural norms. Get it wrong and you’re looking at compliance violations, mishandled complaints, and the kind of trust breakdown that pushes good people out the door. This training helps managers understand what they’re responsible for, how to respond when issues surface, and where local rules change the playbook. When managers own their role with clarity, organizations catch problems early, stay on the right side of regulators, and build teams that actually trust their leaders.

"Ethena helped us embed clear standards directly into how we operate and grow. That's what designing for trust at scale actually looks like."

"I needed to train 500 people on side agreements in two weeks. Ethena made it happen — custom content, quick turnaround, no drama."
