Significant changes to the Senior Manager's responsibilities will require an updated SOR and submission to the regulator.Furthermore, the process of allocation and decision making needs to be evidenced with secure record keeping.CertificationFirms are responsible for ensuring that individuals who perform regulatory functions are certified to do so. In addition, a firm can only issue a certificate if they are confident that the individual is fit to perform those functions.To meet these requirements, a firm needs to have a robust certification process, a view of the current status of their certified population and access to an individual's certification history and evidence with which to support objective decision making.The SolutionWe have designed purpose-built technology to address all your SMCR requirements.We provide a clear, intuitive and easy to implement SaaS solution.
