IPA Learning | Ethics in Insolvency: A Focus on Professional Behaviour, Competence and Due Care
Wednesday 2nd July 2025 | 12:00-14:00 | Online | CPD: 2 hours
In 2024, 40 penalties and sanctions were issued in relation to a breach of the Insolvency Code of Ethics to approximately 34 insolvency practitioners by the three RPBs. This was by far the biggest category of reported breach across the profession and the vast majority of these were in relation to a lack of professional behaviour, competence, and due care.
It is therefore timely that forthcoming revisions to the Insolvency Code of Ethics focus on the behaviour and attitude of the insolvency professional. The addition of provisions on strength of character and having an inquiring mind will underpin the requirements to act with professional behaviour, competence, and due care.
In this webinar we will look at the themes and behaviours arising from these sanctions and offer some practical tips on how to protect yourself and your business from similar penalties. We will also consider what the behavioural and attitudinal changes to the Code mean in practice.
In this webinar we will:
- Focus on the principles of professional behaviour and professional competence
- Examine the issues and behaviour that could lead to a breach of the principles of professional behaviour and professional competence
- Practical tips on meeting the Code’s expectations around behaviour and competence
- Introduce the additional provisions to the Code regarding strength of character and having an inquiring mind
- Understanding what these new provisions mean in practice
- Focus on “professional scepticism” as a concept
This webinar will be recorded, and a link to view this will be shared with all delegates following the event.
