Synopsis: The UK Government's focus on growth and competitiveness continues to influence UK financial services regulators approaches to individual accountability, including the scope and shape of the most significant proposed reforms to the Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR) since its introduction. Yet robust focus on individual accountability is growing ever more central to the regulators' strategies, as recent enforcement actions have demonstrated. In our annual webinar on UK individual accountability themes and trends, Sarah Hitchins, Kate Pumfrey and Marc Teasdale will share their insights on recent key developments in individual accountability, likely imminent directions of travel, and their implications for individuals and firms going forward, particularly focusing on: • the SMCR reform consultations and likely next steps • the proposed extension of SMCR to cryptoasset activities • the FCA's final non-financial misconduct rules and guidance, their interaction with key employment law obligations and governance expectations for Senior Managers • the impact of the FCA's strategy of "fewer, faster investigations" on enforcement appetite under the SMCR and key lessons from recent enforcement actions against individuals • continued supervisory messaging in relation to governance and individual accountability, and • the recent revisions to the remuneration rules and updates on the regulators’ expectations on managerial and senior management accountability through remuneration. Whether you work in Compliance, Employment, ER, HR, Investigations, Legal, Risk or dedicated individual accountability teams, we will offer you key takeaways and focus areas to assist you in your day-to-day operation and management of the SMCR and individual accountability issues.
