Getting the Basics Brilliant: Regulation, Resilience and Smarter Ways of Working in 2026
This session provides a practical regulatory update focused on doing the basics well – not perfectly, but consistently, efficiently and effectively reaching the required standard and minimising risks. It explores how strong core controls around SIP compliance, AML readiness and case oversight, combined with informed use of technology, professional judgment and teamwork, can improve outcomes.
David Holland, Chief Inspector, IPA
Troublesome or Troubled? Why Vulnerability Matters in Corporate Insolvencies.
How can you press on with your job when a director claims to be vulnerable? How do you balance accommodating a vulnerability with pursuing payment or investigations? What if a director complains that you haven’t treated them, as a customer, fairly?
In this session, Michelle will illustrate how vulnerability is not just a concern for IVA IPs and she will help listeners navigate these choppy waters.
