Allocation of overall responsibility for a firm’s activities, business areas and management functions

SYSC 4.7.26GRP
(1) Although the norm should be for a firm to have a single individual performing each FCA-prescribed senior management responsibility or function allocated under SYSC 4.7.8R (Allocation of overall responsibility for a firm’s activities, business areas and management functions), there may be circumstances in which responsibilities can be divided or shared (see (2)).(2) A firm should only divide or share a responsibility where this is appropriate and can be justified.(3) For example,
SYSC 4.7.27GRP
(1) The FCA expects a firm to divide and allocate responsibilities under:(a) SYSC 4.7.5R (Allocation of FCA-prescribed senior management responsibilities); and(a) SYSC 4.7.8R (Allocation of overall responsibility for a firm’s activities, business areas and management functions); between its SMF managers so that responsibilities are grouped together appropriately.(2) The firm should make the judgement:(a) in (1); and(b) about whether and how responsibilities and functions should
