Interactive webinar on the Senior Managers and Certification Regime

Please join us for an interactive webinar on the Senior Managers & Certification Regime (SMCR).

With the help of a number of case studies, we will discuss how firms should approach the following aspects of the SMCR, which must be undertaken by solo-regulated firms by 31 March 2021:

• assessing the fitness and propriety of Certified Persons
• carrying out Conduct Rules training for staff
• submitting information about Directory Persons to the Register.

We will also consider issues arising out of the lockdown, such as how these processes are best managed remotely.
