Table: Examples of how the other overall responsibility function applies
1Example |
Comments |
(1) ‘A’ is appointed to perform the executive director function and to perform a potential other overall responsibility function for the same firm. |
A only needs approval to perform the executive director function. |
(2) ‘A’ is approved to perform the other overall responsibility function. Later, A is appointed to perform the executive director function for the same firm. |
A requires approval for the other overall responsibility function when A is first appointed. When A is later approved to perform the executive director function, A stops performing the other overall responsibility function. The firm should use Form E to apply for approval for A to perform the executive director function. |
(3) ‘A’ is appointed to perform the PRA's Head of Key Business Area designated senior management function and to perform a potential other overall responsibility function for the same firm. |
A only needs approval to perform the PRA's Head of Key Business Area designated senior management function. It does not make any difference whether the potential other overall responsibility function that A performs is connected to the PRA's Head of Key Business Area designated senior management function. |
(4) ‘A’ is approved to perform the other overall responsibility function. Later, A is appointed to perform the PRA's Head of Key Business Area designated senior management function for the same firm. |
A requires approval for the other overall responsibility function when A is first appointed. When A is later approved to perform the PRA's Head of Key Business Area designated senior management function, A stops performing the other overall responsibility function. |
(5) ‘A’ is appointed to perform: (a) the compliance oversight function for one firm (Firm X) in a group (which may or may not be a relevant authorised person); and (b) a function coming within the scope of the other overall responsibility function for another firm (which is a relevant authorised person) in the same group (Firm Y). |
A needs approval to perform the compliance oversight function for Firm X and the other overall responsibility function for Firm Y. |
(6) ‘A’ is appointed to be head of sales and to report directly to the firm'sgoverning body about this. This function also comes within the PRA's Head of Key Business Area designated senior management function. |
A only needs approval to perform the PRA's Head of Key Business Area designated senior management function. |
(7) ‘A’ is appointed to take on some functions that come within the other overall responsibility function. Later, A is appointed as chief risk officer. |
On A’s first appointment, A will need to be approved to perform the other overall responsibility function. On being appointed as chief risk officer, the answer for example (4) applies because being chief risk officer is a PRA-designated senior management function. A will stop performing the other overall responsibility function. |
(8) ‘A’ is appointed to a role that comes within the other overall responsibility function. Later, the firm reorganises and A’s role comes within the PRA's Head of Key Business Area designated senior management function. A’s role does not otherwise change. |
The answer for example (7) applies. |
(9) ‘A’ is appointed to a role that comes within the PRA's Head of Key Business Area designated senior management function. It is also a potential other overall responsibility function. Later, the firm reorganises—A’s role stays the same but now it falls outside the PRA's Head of Key Business Area designated senior management function. |
On A’s first appointment, A only needs approval to perform the PRA's Head of Key Business Area designated senior management function. Following the reorganisation, the firm has three months to get approval for A to perform the other overall responsibility function. This three-month period applies because the relevant PRA rules keep the PRA's Head of Key Business Area designated senior management function in place, which means that the other overall responsibility function does not apply during that period. The relevant PRA rules can be found in Chapter 2 of the part of the PRA rulebook titled ‘Senior Management Functions’. |
(10) ‘A’ is appointed to a role that comes within the PRA's Head of Key Business Area designated senior management function. A also performs a potential other overall responsibility function. A gives up the PRA role but carries on with the potential other overall responsibility function. |
The answer to example (9) applies. |
(11) ‘A’ is appointed as an executive director. A then resigns and takes up a job with the same firm coming within the other overall responsibility function. |
On A’s first appointment, A will need to be approved to perform the executive director function. A will need to get approval to perform the other overall responsibility function before A gives up being a director. |
Note (1): A potential other overall responsibility function means a function that would have come within the other overall responsibility function but is excluded by SUP 10C.7.1R(2). |
|
Note (2): A potential other overall responsibility function should be recorded in A’s statement of responsibilities and in the firm'smanagement responsibilities map. |
