The FCA categorises a number of Senior Management Functions (SMFs). But other roles could still cause significant harm to a firm or its customers. Those who carry out these roles are deemed as Certified Persons.
Certified Persons do not need to be approved by the FCA, but firms need to check and certify that they are fit and proper to perform their role. This has to be done at least once a year.
A cornerstone of the regime is a set of six Individual Conduct Rules that apply to all individuals working in financial services.
This SMCR Conduct Rule course helps your Certified Persons to learn about these rules, their contraventions and their application in practical situations.
Available as part of our SMCR Course Library.
This course will help your Certified Persons to understand:
- Honesty, integrity and reputation
- Competence and capability
- Financial soundness
- Exercise: Assessing fitness and propriety
- Fit and proper: Enforcement
