Course description
The SMCR embodies one of the biggest changes to financial services regulation in the past decade. Replacing the APR, the regime is designed to create a culture of accountability within firms from the top down, with the onus placed on individuals to take responsibility for their actions.
Senior managers have a duty of responsibility under the regime, meaning that if their firm breaches a requirement, they could be held personally accountable if they did not take reasonable steps to prevent the breach. Senior managers may also hold one or more prescribed responsibilities in addition to the inherent responsibilities that are part of a senior manager’s role.
Presented by leading expert Robert Bell, this live and interactive session provides senior managers with the know-how to protect themselves against FCA action such as fines.
