SM&CR DOCUMENT PACK

SM&CR Templates

The Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SM&CR) replaced the Approved Persons Regime (APR) for solo-regulated firms from 9 December 2019. The SM&CR applies to almost all FSMA authorised firms and also to branches of non-UK firms with permission to carry out regulated activities.

Whilst the SMCR rules and requirements were enforced from the 9th December 2019, solo-regulated firms have a further 12 months to develop and implement certain areas of the SM&CR. Prior to 9/12/2020, solo-regulated firms will need to ensure: –

  • all relevant staff are trained on the Conduct Rules and how they apply to their roles
  • all staff in certified roles are fit and proper to perform that role and are issued with a certificate
  • they submit data to the FCA for the directory of key people working in financial services

For firms who don’t want to reinvent the wheel by writing all of their own documents and policies, Know Your Compliance Limited provide regulatory compliance content that is fully customisable and helps organisations to meet the myriad of controls, requirements and expectations set by regulators such as the FCA.

SMCR TemplatesOur SM&CR Document Pack provides the same standard of high quality content and easy to use formats already used by over 3000 organisations in regulated industries and offers templates and policies for areas such as assessing fitness and propriety, adequately documenting management responsibilties & SM functions, applying the certification regime to the correct employees and documenting and evidencing compliance with the SM&CR.

The SMCR Document Pack is available to download instantly after payment has been made and a VAT invoice is provided with all orders. If the rules and regulations are added to or amended in the future, we also provide free updates via email, so you can be assured of ongoing compliance with the latest requirements.

We also offer supporting compliance packs to several of the Prescribed Responsibilities obligations for firms who do not already have these policies and templates in place.

  • (d) – Responsibility for the firm’s policies & procedures for countering the risk that the firm might be used to further financial crime – See our AML Toolkits
  • (z) – Responsibility for the firm’s compliance with CASS – See our CASS Manual
  • (j-3) – For firms outsourcing its internal audit function (outsourcing, due diligence & conflicts of interest) – See our Supporting Policies
