Preparing for the Implementation of the Certification Regime

Event promoted by: Worksmart – worksmart.co.uk

City & Financial are running a virtual conference on 22nd February on the Senior Managers and Certification Regime.

The conference is particularly timely as solo-regulated firms make their final preparations for the implementation of the Certification Regime and Conduct Rules on 31st March.

We are delighted to be sponsoring, exhibiting and speaking at this important conference alongside some key speakers including David Blunt, Head of Conduct Specialists at the FCA.

Alongside the implementation of the Certification Regime and the Conduct Rules, the conference will also address a number of other critical issues that banks, asset managers and insurers are grappling with as they live with the SMCR on a day-to-day basis. These issues will be covered through a combination of presentations and panel discussions.
