1Table: Situations to which FIT applies

What FIT applies to

Does it apply to SMCR firms2?

Does it apply to firms that are not SMCR firms2?

Comment

(1) A firm assessing the fitness and propriety of a candidate whom the firm is proposing to put forward for approval

Yes

No

However, the answer to Question 11 in SUP 10A Annex 1 (Frequently asked questions) says that the FCA's approval process is not a substitute for the checks that a firm should be carrying out on its prospective recruits. FIT may be a useful guide to matters that a firm that is not an SMCR firm2 should take into account.

(2) A firm assessing the continuing fitness and propriety of an approved person

Yes

No

However, a firm should employ personnel with the skills, knowledge and expertise necessary for the discharge of the responsibilities allocated to them (SYSC 5.1). FIT may be a useful guide to matters which a firm should take into account if it is not an SMCR firm2.
