  • UK Financial Conduct Authority Publishes Consultation Paper : Optimising SMCR - Duff & Phelps Comment

    Date 24/01/2019

    Following the FCA consultation paper issued yesterday entitled “Optimising the Senior Managers & Certification Regime and feedback to DP16/4 – Overall responsibility and the legal function” Jane Stoakes, Director, Compliance & Regulatory Consulting at Duff & Phelps commented:

    We welcome these recent proposed updates and clarifications to the SM&CR rules. If the FCA wants companies to implement these practices properly, it’s imperative that companies have a clear understanding of what changes need to be made, and implement these well in advance of the cutoff date on 6th December. In response to the industry’s confusion in certain areas, the FCA’s proposals have provided further clarification on how the client dealing function should be applied, how staff who are responsible for systems and controls will be included in the Certification Regime and provided a solution to the legal function issue.”
