SMCR and Individual Accountability

The UK’s SMCR regime is entering a new phase. Following the FCA’s recent reforms, firms now have greater operational flexibility across areas such as certification, regulatory references, and Statements of Responsibilities, while continuing to face the same expectations around accountability, governance, and oversight.

Join industry leaders and StarCompliance Product Director, Barbara Delaney, for a practical discussion on what the latest SMCR changes mean for firms today, what may still lie ahead, and how compliance teams can prepare for the future of individual accountability regulation.

This webinar will explore:

• How technology can support scalable, defensible accountability frameworks
• The latest FCA Phase 1 SMCR reforms
• What has changed operationally and what hasn’t
• Ongoing expectations around governance, documentation, and reasonable steps
• Potential future reforms and what firms should prepare for now
