The Senior Managers and Certification Regime- (effective from 9th December 2019)

A one hour talk presented by Branko Bjelobaba FCII, FCA Compliance Consultant and CII Accredited Advanced General Insurance Trainer.

Branko has a first-class reputation for his expert knowledge on compliance and regulatory matters and their impact on the UK financial services and general insurance industries. Combining comprehensive knowledge with an engaging and unique presentation style, Branko manages to deliver presentation sessions that inform, enlighten and even entertain (all at the same time!!). Many events provided by Branko have been standing room only which continues to perplex him based on the subject matter and he has spoken at virtually all CII local institutes and is taken aback by the feedback he gets from those attending events.

FREE CPD EVENT-

Branko will provide a free template to incorporate Statements of Responsibility and Prescribed Responsibility (GI broker focus) with the slides which will be made available to all those attending.

Overview:

In response to the 2008 banking crisis and significant conduct failing the Parliamentary Commission for Banking Standards recommended a new accountability framework focused on senior management. It also recommended that firms take more responsibility for employees being fit and proper, and that there be better standards of conduct at all levels in banking firms.

With banks and insurers already subject to the new regime it was decided to extend this to all FSMA authorised firms.

Significant changes are being proposed that will now take effect from 9 December 2019 and this will apply to ALL insurance brokers, mortgage brokers and IFAs. This will mean changes to your Approved Persons and conduct rules applying for the first time ever to ALL staff - do you know what changes you will have to make?

Learning objectives:

By attending this event delegates will gain an insight into:

•Why the need for change
•SM&CR proposals (wider applicability that current Approved Persons Regime)
•Certification requirements
•Fit and Proper requirements
•Conduct rules that will apply to all relevant staff
•Transitional arrangements
•What do I actually need to do
