Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SM&CR) is a UK initiative which hopes to reduce harm to consumers and strengthen market integrity by raising new standards of personal conduct for everyone working in financial services.

We hope that all firms are comfortable with implementing SM&CR into the processes. If not, we’re here to give a helping hand to help ensure that firms establish healthy cultures and effective governance. Remember, culture remains central to how the FCA supervise regulated firms – and the successful application of SM&CR is a key area.

This module is defined by four units. They are:

  • Overview of the SM&CR and an explanation of the 3 elements that it encompasses, including the senior manager regime
  • Certification regime
  • Conduct rules
  • HR & the FCA

During this module, you will:

  • Explain how a firm is classified under the SM&CR and the range of management functions that apply to each tier.
  • Learn the different roles within a firm and how evidence requirements are used to satisfy an individual's fit and proper status.
  • Understand how the regime encourages a higher standard of conduct within financial services by setting a tone from the top to encourage individual accountability.
  • Consider the processes that should be in place within a firm to ensure all aspects of the SM&CR are being adhered to.
