The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) issued an edition of Market Watch this month that shares the regulator’s concerns and findings about control of access to inside information.

It’s only six months until the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)’s new Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR) requirements take effect. It’s important to remember as of December 9, 2019, a senior manager may be held personally liable for breaches in SMCR requirements.

The time to being preparing to comply with the new Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR) is now, according the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The FCA recently issued a reminder to firms regulated by the Financial Services and Markets Act (FSMA) that they must be ready to meet SMCR requirements when the December 9, 2019 effective date arrives.
