The forthcoming summit, which builds on the success of the three previous summits that City & Financial has organised on the SMCR, focuses on the key issues that all regulated firms need to get to grips with, whether they are asset managers and insurers who are finalising their implementation projects prior to coming within the ambit of the SMCR, or banks that are already within scope. The summit will address the needs of senior executives in all FCA and PRA regulated firms.
David Blunt, Head of Conduct Specialists, Financial Conduct Authority, has confirmed that he will give a keynote address.
The event has been made even more topical as a result of the recent publication of three FCA policy statements on the extension of the SMCR to all regulated firms and the FCA new Directory proposal. The former included guidance and set out the main features of the regime, details of how the move to the SMCR will happen and a summary of the necessary changes to the FCA rules. The Directory will include all those who hold Senior Manager positions requiring FCA approval and those whose roles require firms to certify that they are fit and proper. Simultaneously, the PRA also published a number of papers related to the extension of the SMCR to insurance companies. In addition to covering the content of these publications, the following issues will be addressed:
The summit will be of particular interest to heads of compliance, heads of operations, heads of legal, heads of internal audit and heads of training and education, as well as members of the advisory community, such as lawyers and accountants.
