CBUAE — Code of Conduct
Code of conduct and CPD requirements under CBUAE Circular C 4/2024.
What does CBUAE Circular C 4/2024 require for code of conduct training?
CBUAE Fitness and Propriety Standards, Circular C 4/2024, establish mandatory requirements covering the integrity, qualifications, and conduct of staff in senior management and risk-sensitive roles. The Standards also introduce Continuous Professional Development (CPD) requirements for all relevant staff. Code of conduct training is a core component of satisfying these obligations — it ensures employees understand the ethical expectations, behavioural standards, and reporting responsibilities the CBUAE requires.

Yes. This course contributes to the Continuous Professional Development requirements under CBUAE Circular C 4/2024. It covers ethical decision-making, conflicts of interest, workplace integrity, whistleblower protections, and the use of internal reporting channels — all topics that the Fitness and Propriety Standards expect employees to be trained on. Course completion generates a certificate and timestamped record that can be included in your CPD documentation for CBUAE supervisory purposes.

How does code of conduct training reduce regulatory and reputational risk for UAE banks?
Conduct failures — including conflicts of interest, misuse of confidential information, harassment, and failure to escalate concerns — are among the most common triggers for CBUAE enforcement action and reputational damage. Code of conduct training equips employees to navigate grey areas with confidence, understand when and how to raise concerns safely, and act in ways that protect both themselves and the institution.
