More than just a spreadsheet
There are tech solutions out there, but many are expensive – being aimed at banks and enhanced firms. They come with a price tag that most firms can’t justify. That leaves many firms looking at manual approaches to managing SM&CR data – often based on Excel and Word. These solutions can work, but they have obvious limitations and also tend to be much more time intensive.

Your step-by-step guide to SM&CR implementation
New to SMCR? This guide will help you understand and implement every part of the SM&CR, including:
- How firms are classified. How to identify Certification Staff.
- The Responsibilities of a Senior Manager.
- Conduct Rules & how they apply to your role.
The ultimate guide to fit and proper testing
The requirement to perform fit and proper testing on both Senior Managers and Certification Employees forms a key plank of the Senior Managers and Certification Regime (the “SM&CR”).
Despite its central importance, there is not a lot of information in the public domain as to what a robust fit and proper assessment process should actually look like. In creating this guide, we have tried to fill that gap – answering some of the key questions that clients typically ask us in this area.
