Compliance with the SM&CR is an ongoing job, and it requires the completion, recording and evidencing of tasks over time. As things in your business change, you’ll need to plan and capture those changes in order to remain compliant.

More than just a spreadsheet

There are tech solutions out there, but many are expensive – being aimed at banks and enhanced firms. They come with a price tag that most firms can’t justify. That leaves many firms looking at manual approaches to managing SM&CR data – often based on Excel and Word. These solutions can work, but they have obvious limitations and also tend to be much more time intensive.

Your step-by-step guide to SM&CR implementation

New to SMCR? This guide will help you understand and implement every part of the SM&CR, including:

  • How firms are classified. How to identify Certification Staff.
  • The Responsibilities of a Senior Manager.
  • Conduct Rules & how they apply to your role.

The ultimate guide to fit and proper testing

The requirement to perform fit and proper testing on both Senior Managers and Certification Employees forms a key plank of the Senior Managers and Certification Regime (the “SM&CR”).

Despite its central importance, there is not a lot of information in the public domain as to what a robust fit and proper assessment process should actually look like. In creating this guide, we have tried to fill that gap – answering some of the key questions that clients typically ask us in this area.

In order to ensure your firm is fully compliant with the regime, we strongly recommend that you should have an SMCR solution in place.
