Axiom for SMCR

Track responsibilities,ensure compliance

With the Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR) coming into effect for all financial regulated firms 2019, there is likely a need for renewed focus on the roles of the majority of the staff.

The regime requires firms to allocate clear responsibilities to named individuals and has a far wider scope than the previous Approved Persons regime. The SMCR rules allow enforcement action to be taken against individuals working in banks and financial institutions and will require mandatory record-keeping activities and an overhaul of existing processes to comply.

Axiom for SMCR manages and monitors the responsibilities of senior managers whilst providing governance, oversight, and transparency through real-time MI and dashboards.
