The Problem with Maintaining SMCR

All solo-regulated firms governed by the FCA are now faced with the daunting task of updating SMCR records on at least an annual basis and reporting these to the regulator.

This can be time consuming, costly and prone to human error, especially when the process is being managed using spreadsheets.

There could not be a better time to introduce technology into your processes to enable you to easily capture, update, analyse and report on SMCR on an ongoing basis.
