SEMINAR:  The Senior Managers and Certification Regime
Location: Peters and Peters LLP, 15 Fetter Lane, London EC4A 1BW
Time: 6pm (registration 5.30pm)

This BACFI seminar will look at the impact of the biggest change in decades in the regulation of individuals in financial services: the Senior Managers and Certification Regime (the SMCR). From 9 December 2019, the SMCR will be extended to all financial firms that are solely regulated by the FCA – introducing a huge change in how many firms and individuals are regulated.

This seminar will focus on the practical reality of the regime, bringing together a panel of industry experts from both private practice and in house to look at some of the more difficult issues, including the following topics:

• conduct: who decides what is fit and proper?
• certification and regulatory references: the process and the pitfalls
• managing internal investigations: misconduct and dealing with individuals
• e enforcement action: who is accountable and what for?

Kindly hosted by Peters and Peters LLP

Attendance at the seminar is free for BACFI members, £20 non-members. To attend but you must register beforehand due to limited spaces and security arrangements at the venue.
