Meet SMCR compliance requirements

Since the implementation of the Senior Managers & Certification Regime (SMCR), firms have been challenged with finding a solution for demonstrating compliance and good governance to the FCA with regards to not only their business practices and controls, but also to the individuals in Senior Manager roles who are responsible for ensuring that the appropriate governance is in place.

​

Drova has extended its solution to include an SMCR module that seamlessly integrates with existing functionality to provide a comprehensive and unrivalled experience.

Our dedicated SMCR solution can accommodate all aspects of the Senior Managers & Certification Regime, including Accountability and Committee Maps, Statements of Responsibilities, Certified Persons, and Fit & Proper Registers.​

 

The SMCR module provides Accountability and Committee Maps which present a complete view of Senior Management structures, the individuals who hold the positions within the structure, and the roles and responsibilities of those individuals, to provide clear evidence of good governance throughout your firm.​

Introducing the SMCR module

Prove reasonable steps

The SMCR places a duty of responsibility on Senior Managers as individuals to take 'reasonable steps' to comply with FCA regulation and prevent any breaches, and for those individuals to delegate tasks to other employees and departments to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

​

Drova's fully integrated GRC and SMCR functionality enables Senior Managers to easily and effectively demonstrate the reasonable steps taken to ensure tasks are delegated to the appropriate qualified person who can deal with that task responsibly.
