Webinar: SM&CR Virtual Briefing: 25th January 2022

The Senior Managers & Certification Regime (SM&CR) has been with us for some time now, and as a result expectations are changing. The regulatory focus in 2022 continues to be around firms providing assurance around the operational effectiveness of the regime as opposed to achieving initial implementation.

The FCA has made it clear that the Senior Manager and Certification Regime should be used as a cultural framework within a firm, helping to create a culture of accountability rather than ‘tick box’ compliance. If the effectiveness of your regime has not been tested, how will you assure yourself as to whether what you have implemented is “Fit for Purpose?”

It is evident that many businesses have viewed SM&CR through the “cost to the business” lens, as opposed to the “operational efficiency” lens. Through this event, we will seek to discuss and debate this approach and how the effective use of RegTech can and will bring both efficiency and more effective risk management within organisations when implemented for change as opposed to “because we have to.”

We are honoured to once again be joined by special guest, Marian Bloodworth, employment partner in the FS Employment Team at Deloitte Legal, for another lively discussion and update on the key issues and considerations on this topic, together with a demonstration of how the Worksmart Accord solution can help you and your organisation manage all of the component parts of the new Regime.
