Get key insight into reasonable steps, mapping, HR implications and much more!

Worksmart are proud sponsors of this exciting virtual event, which is completely focused on the introduction of SEAR (Senior Executive Accountability Regime) to Ireland’s financial firms that are subject to regulatory compliance. Back in July 2018, the Central Bank of Ireland  proposed an Individual Accountability Framework which includes (SEAR) to be modelled on the UK’s Senior Manager and Certification Regime (SM&CR).
