Why This Course?

Running Your Own SMCR Preparation Project?

This course will equip you with everything you need to know and everything you need to do.

The extension of the Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR) to investment firms in December 2019 represented a major overhaul of the way in which individuals working within financial services are regulated.

The new rules increase the number of employees who are subject to regulatory obligations, whilst significantly enhancing the accountability of those in senior management positions. They also impose potentially onerous obligations on firms, from the documentation of management responsibilities to the training of employees on the application of the Conduct Rules.

We have extensive experience in training senior managers and other staff who are subject to the SM&CR and we have developed a range of training solutions to suit a wide variety of requirements. You will also gain access to a 50% discount in our special offer promotion for a valuable aid to your implementation planning.

In Summary

Originally rolled out to the banking sector in 2016, the Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR) is about to be extended to around 47,000 additional firms.
Beginning with insurance companies, from December 2018, and reaching asset managers and other regulated firms in December 2019.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is tightening up its rules, replacing the current Approved Persons Regime with the Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR). The regime has already been operating in the banking sector for some time and will this year extend to all within the financial services sector.

This change will affect all FCA regulated firms including non-UK firms with permission to carry out regulated activities in the UK, and it will focus on three key areas:

  1. The Senior Managers Regime
  2. The Certification Regime
  3. Conduct Rules
