The Senior Managers and Certification Regime is entering one of its most significant periods of change. With Phase 1 reforms now in force, new rules on non-financial misconduct approaching, and wider Phase 2 changes still taking shape, firms must act now while preparing for an uncertain future.
This practical webinar moves beyond a simple review of the regulatory updates to examine what they mean for firms day to day. Our expert panel will explore how organisations are adapting role mapping, certification, temporary-cover arrangements and reporting processes; how HR, Compliance and Legal should work together when workplace misconduct becomes a regulatory issue; and when manual administration, fragmented data and spreadsheets begin to create unacceptable risk.
Attendees will gain practical insights into:
- Turning regulatory simplification into genuine operational improvement
- Preparing for the new treatment of non-financial misconduct
- Establishing clear decision rights, referral processes and defensible audit trails
- Assessing whether current SMCR processes remain proportionate
- Building technology and data capabilities that can adapt to future reform
The session is designed for Compliance, HR, Legal, Company Secretariat, Risk and SMCR programme leaders seeking clear, practical actions they can take now – without over-engineering a regime that may change again.
