SMCR for insurance firms
The SMCR was extended to insurers on 10 December 2018, replacing the PRA’s Senior Insurance Managers Regime (SIMR) and the FCA’s Approved Persons Regime. The extension means that insurers are subject to elements of the SMCR which have not been applied to them previously such as the Certification Regime, handover procedures and the statutory duty of responsibility. In addition, almost all employees of insurers are now subject to the Conduct Rules.
