Responsible Managers play a critical role in ensuring Australian Credit Licensees meet their obligations under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act and ASIC’s regulatory expectations.

As regulatory scrutiny continues to intensify, Responsible Managers are expected to demonstrate not only technical competence, but also effective governance, oversight and accountability.

The ACL Responsible Manager Workshop is a practical, interactive, online workshop designed specifically for Responsible Managers and senior credit professionals who want to strengthen their understanding of their obligations, explore recent regulatory developments, and gain practical strategies they can immediately apply within their organisations.

Delivered by respected consumer credit compliance specialist David Carson, this workshop provides practical insights drawn from decades of experience working with ASIC, lenders, brokers and credit providers.

Whether you’re newly appointed or an experienced Responsible Manager looking to satisfy your annual CPD obligations under ASIC Regulatory Guide 206 (RG206), this workshop will help you remain compliant, confident and future ready.

Why Attend?

Under RG206 Credit licensing: Competence and training, Responsible Managers should complete at least 20 hours of continuing professional development each year, covering both product knowledge and regulatory compliance. Licensees are also required to maintain records of this training.

This workshop has been specifically developed to support those requirements while providing practical guidance on the issues Responsible Managers face every day.

The content is suitable for organisations of all sizes, from sole operators through to major lenders and national credit businesses.

During this highly interactive session you’ll gain:

• Practical guidance in plain English – not legal jargon
• A clearer understanding of your responsibilities as a Responsible Manager
• Insights into current ASIC expectations and enforcement activity

• The opportunity to ask questions directly of one of Australia’s leading consumer credit compliance specialists
