Deliver Confidence and Assurance

Delivering Effective Affordable SMCR Assurance

The clock is ticking towards the SMCR deadline of 9th December 2019 for solo regulated firms and this is just the tip of the iceberg. With the shift in responsibility moving from the firm to the individual, there is no wonder that senior managers and compliance leads are becoming anxious about the levels of personal liability involved.

Spreadsheets and manual control mechanisms don’t provide the visibility or audit trail to meet the FCA’s expectation of being able to demonstrate a solid SM&CR control process. Firms are also realising that managing Certification and Conduct using paper-based systems is never going to work. Compliance software aimed at the banking sector is excessively sized and priced for solo regulated firms who need an affordable and reliable SMCR solution.
