SMRComply – Accountability, Control, Compliance

Compliance and assessment in one powerful tool

With over 40,000 firms being captured under the extended Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SM&CR), now is the time to review and plan your obligations and responsibilities in respect of SMR Accountability, Competence, Conduct and Certification.

The SMRComply online software platform delivers control at the level required and to the right people.

SMRComply already delivers complete control, visibility and conduct / competence risk management to clients captured in phase one of the regime. The solution combines a compliance tool with the assessment, management and oversight power of the HRComply platform.

At HRComply, we understand that one size does not fit all. We combine the solutions you need and then configure the system to align with your structures, processes and requirements. Our pre-defined templates will help expedite this process and facilitate a rapid deployment for your firm. Joint training sessions for Compliance, HR and other teams on how to use the system will enhance transparency between departments and improve efficiencies.

Evidencing the Fitness, Propriety and competence of staff is an ongoing process. Other platforms simply enable box-ticking and the creation of infrastructures; SMRComply delivers this but also provides the ability to manage and oversee the processes going forward, safeguarding any necessary remediation.
