Training Course Content
Agenda
- Summary on the roll out of SM&CR in the Insurance Sector. SMCR itself covers three areas
- Senior Managers: This covers anyone who undertakes a Senior Management Function. Each senior manager will have a Duty of Responsibility and a Statement of Responsibility but there is no need for a responsibilities map or handover procedures.
- Certification Regime: This covers people who are not senior managers but whose job means it is possible for them to cause significant harm to the firm or its customers.
- Conduct Rules:These basic rules apply to all employees except ancillary staff who do not perform a role specific to financial services. There are five high level obligations which apply to all, and an additional four obligations for senior managers.
- What does SMCR mean for me?
- Approaches taken by the Insurance sector to complying with SM&CR and what issues have they faced across their firms
- The Duty of Responsibility – how the Insurance sector has had to adapt
- Case studies
- Group Discussion
- Learnings and best practice implementation
- Staying compliant – systems, controls and measurements used by the Insurers to stay within the regime
