Conduct Rules for Conduct Rule Employees Course

Endorsed CPD JPEG Logo

The UK's financial services sector has been rocked over the past decade by scandals ranging from miss-selling to market manipulation. This led to the launch of the SMCR.

One of the SMCR cornerstones is a set of six Individual Conduct Rules (ICRs) that apply to all individuals working in financial services.

Our SMCR Conduct Rules course helps Conduct Rule employees learn about ICRs, their contraventions and their application to practical situations relevant to their roles.
