Unicorn Training has created a new SM&CR toolkit
Unicorn Training defines 9 simple steps to set up an LMS to support firms SM&CR's obligations.
For the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), holding individuals to account is a key component of effective regulation. This was demonstrated with the introduction of the Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SM&CR) in 2016 and originally only applied to dual-regulated firms. In December 2019, the regime will become applicable to almost every firm regulated by the FCA.
Unicorn Training's video showcases how to take full advantage of their LMS tools while following 9 simple steps to setting up an LMS to support a firm’s obligations.
