Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR)
The Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR) oversee the compliance of senior managers and members of staff. It holds these staff members personally liable when it comes to carrying out the financial services of the business.
Why Is SMCR Important?
Although the SMCR is a new compliance procedure, businesses should not treat it as something of a formality. The FCA takes SMCR very seriously and this should be reflected in businesses
Businesses should also be aware of recent changes that increased the numbers and types of employees who are subject to the SMCR – including more responsibilities for senior staff.
