Table: Examples5 of how the requirements for submitting statements of responsibilities work

1Example	Comments
(1) A firm applies for approval for A to perform the executive director function 5 and the money laundering reporting function 5.	There should be a single statement of responsibilities document that covers the two functions. The combined document should be included with the application for approval.
(2) Firm X applies for approval for A to perform the executive director function 5. Firm Y applies for approval for A to perform the money laundering reporting function. Both firms are SMCR firms 5.	There should be separate statements of responsibilities for each firm. This is the case even if Firm X and Firm Y are in the same group.
(3) A firm applies for approval for A to perform an FCA-designated senior management function and a PRA-designated senior management function. The arrangements in SUP 10C.9 for FCA functions to be absorbed into PRA ones do not apply and so there are separate applications to the FCA and PRA.	The single statement of responsibilities document should cover both the FCA and the PRA functions.
(4) A has approval to perform the executive director function 5. Later, A is to be appointed to perform the money laundering reporting function 5 for the same firm. This will also result in substantial changes to A’s duties as an executive director.	The firm should not use Form J to notify the changes to A’s duties as an executive director. The firm should submit a revised single statement of responsibilities document along with the application to perform the money laundering reporting function 5. The single statement of responsibilities document should cover both functions. The part relating to A’s duties as an executive director should be updated.
(5) A has approval to perform the executive director function 5. Later, A is to be appointed to perform the PRA's chief risk officer designated senior management function for the same firm. This will also result in substantial changes to A’s duties as an executive director.	The firm should not use Form J to notify the changes to A’s duties as an executive director. The firm should submit a revised single statement of responsibilities document along with the application to perform the PRA function. The firm should not submit the revised single statement of responsibilities document separately to the FCA. Instead, it should include it as part of the application to the PRA. The single statement of responsibilities document should cover both the FCA and the PRA functions. The part relating to A’s duties as an executive director should be updated.
(6) A has approval to perform the money laundering reporting function 5. The approval to perform the money laundering reporting function 5 is subject to a condition. The firm is applying to vary that condition.	The firm should include a revised statement of responsibilities with the application. The firm should not use Form J. It should submit a revised statement of responsibilities along with the application to vary the approval.
(7) A has approval to perform the executive director function 5 and the money laundering reporting function 5 for the same firm. The approval to perform the money laundering reporting function 5 is subject to a condition. The firm is applying to vary that condition. As part of the same arrangements, there are to be substantial changes to A’s job as an executive director.	The firm should not use Form J to notify the changes to A’s duties as an executive director. The firm should submit a revised single statement of responsibilities document along with the application to vary the approval for the money laundering reporting function 5. The single statement of responsibilities document should be updated and should cover both functions.
(8) A has approval to perform the executive director function 5 and the PRA's chief risk officer designated senior management function for the same firm. The arrangements in SUP 10C.9 for FCA functions to be absorbed into PRA ones do not apply and so there are separate FCA and PRA approvals. The approval to perform the PRA's chief risk officer designated senior management function is subject to a condition. The firm is applying to vary that condition. As part of the same arrangements, there are to be substantial changes to A’s job as an executive director.	The firm should not use Form J to notify the changes to A’s duties as an executive director. The firm should submit a revised single statement of responsibilities document along with the application to vary the PRA function. The firm should not submit the revised document separately to the FCA. Instead it should include it as part of the application to the PRA. The single statement of responsibilities document should cover both the FCA and the PRA functions and should be updated.
(9) A has approval to perform the executive director function 5 and the money laundering reporting function 5 for the same firm. Sometime later, A is to give up the money laundering reporting function 5 and take up the PRA's chief risk officer designated senior management function. This will involve major changes to A’s role as executive director.	The answer to example (5) applies. The application to the PRA to perform the PRA function should be accompanied by a single document that: (1) contains the statement of responsibilities for the new function; (2) contains the revised statement of responsibilities for the executive director function 5; and (3) reflects the fact that A is no longer performing the money laundering reporting function 5.
(10) A firm has approval for A to perform the executive director function 5 and the money laundering reporting function 5. A then ceases to perform the money laundering reporting function 5 but continues to perform the executive director function.5	The firm must submit: (a) Form C for the money laundering reporting function 5; (b) Form J; and (c) a single updated statement of responsibilities document that covers the executive director function and reflects the fact that A is no longer performing the money laundering reporting function 5.
(11) A has approval to perform the executive director function 5 and the PRA's chief risk officer designated senior management function for the same firm. Later, A gives up his role as chief risk officer.	The firm must submit: (a) Form C for the PRA function; (b) Form J; and (c) a single updated statement of responsibilities document that covers the executive director function 5. The firm should not submit the revised single statement of responsibilities document separately to the FCA. Instead, it should include it as part of the notification to the PRA.
(12) A has approval to perform the executive director function 5. Later, A is to be appointed to perform the money laundering reporting function 5 for the same firm. The application is rejected.	The single statement of responsibilities document submitted as part of the application will no longer be correct as it reflects the proposed new approval. If the only changes to the single document in the version sent with the application are ones5 clearly and exclusively tied to the new function, the firm will not need to amend the document as the changes will automatically fall away. In any other case (for instance if the application is approved conditionally), it is likely that the firm will need to update it using Form J. In any case, the FCA may contact the firm to agree a revised single statement of responsibilities document.
(13) A has approval to perform the money laundering reporting function 5. Later, A is to be appointed as an executive director5 for the same firm. This will not result in any significant5 changes to A’s duties in the money laundering reporting function 5. However, there have been some insignificant changes to A’s role in the money laundering reporting function 5 since the firm submitted the most recent single statement of responsibilities document. The changes are not connected to A’s appointment as executive director5.	The answer for example (4) applies. The single statement of responsibilities document should be updated to cover the changes to A’s duties in the money laundering role as well as covering A’s appointment to perform the executive director function. It does not matter that the changes to A’s money laundering role5 are not significant.
(14) A has approval to perform the executive director function 5. Later, A’s business unit grows in size and so the firm needs to apply for A to be approved to perform the PRA's Head of Key Business Area designated senior management function. However, A’s responsibilities do not change.	The firm should submit a revised single statement of responsibilities document along with the application to perform the PRA function. The firm should submit a single statement of responsibilities document that covers both the FCA and the PRA functions. It should not submit the revised single statement of responsibilities document separately to the FCA. Instead, it should include it as part of the application to the PRA.
2(15) Firm X has a branch in the United Kingdom. Firm Y is a UK authorised subsidiary 3 of firm X. Firm X is an overseas SMCR firm that is not an EEA SMCR firm 5 and firm3 Y is a UK SMCR firm 5. Both firms apply for approval for the same individual (P) to perform the executive director function 5. 3	There should be separate statement of responsibilities for P for each firm.
Note:5 The single statement of responsibilities document means the single document described in SUP 10C.11.13D.5

Outsourcing arrangements

1Outsourcing arrangements	Explanation	Submitting form
Firm A to firm B	The FCA will consider A to have taken reasonable care if it enters into a contract with B under which B is responsible for ensuring that the relevant FCA-designated senior management functions are performed by FCA-approved SMF managers, and that it is reasonable for A to rely on this.	Firm B submits FCA-approved persons forms on behalf of firm A.
Outsourcing by A to B (both being a member of the same United Kingdom group and each having its registered office in the United Kingdom)	See SUP 10C.3.9G	Either A or B may submit FCA-approved persons forms on behalf of firms in the group (see SUP 15.7.8G).
(i) A to B, where B: (a) is not an authorised person; and (b) is not part of the same group as A; or (ii) A to B, where A is a branch of an overseas firm in the United Kingdom, and B is an overseas undertaking of the same group; or (iii) A to B, where A is a UK authorised subsidiary of an overseas firm and B is an overseas undertaking of the same group.	Responsibility for (as opposed to the performance of) any activity outsourced to B will remain with A. See SYSC 8.	A ensures that an individual approved by the FCA or the PRA to perform a designated senior management function has responsibility for the outsourced arrangement and A submits a form in relation to that individual.

1Section	Summary of relevant parts	Other Handbook material	Comments
Section 63(2A) (Duty to notify regulator of grounds for withdrawal of approval)	At least once a year, each firm must, in relation to every SMF manager for whom an approval has been given on the application of that firm: (a) consider whether there are any grounds on which the FCA could withdraw the approval; and (b) if the firm is of the opinion that there are such grounds, notify the FCA of those grounds.		FIT sets out guidance on the factors a firm should take into account when assessing the fitness and propriety of an approved person.
2	2	2
Section 64C of the Act (Requirement for 4authorised persons to notify regulator of disciplinary action)	If: (a) a firm takes disciplinary action in relation to an SMF manager; and (b) the reason, or one of the reasons, for taking that action is a reason specified in SUP 15.11.6R; the firm should notify the FCA of that fact.	SUP 15.11 (Notification of COCON breaches and disciplinary action)	An example of when a notification should be made using Form C rather than Form D is when a firm is required to notify the FCA under section 64C of the Act that it has dismissed an SMF manager.

Table: Examples of how the other local responsibility function applies

Example	Comments
(1) ‘A’ is allocated local responsibility for one of a branch’s main business lines. A is also appointed to perform a PRA-designated senior management function for the same branch.	A only needs approval to perform the PRA-designated senior management function.
(2) ‘A’ is outside the branch’s management structure and A’s responsibilities for the branch are limited to setting overall strategy for the branch. A does not have responsibility for implementing that strategy.	A is not performing the other local responsibility function. The reason for this is explained in SYSC 26.8.3G4. SUP 10C.8.1R(2) is irrelevant to this example. 4
(3) A small branch undertakes two business lines (wholesale lending and corporate investments). ‘A’ is head of wholesale lending and is also an executive director of the branch. ‘B’ is head of corporate investments and does not sit on the branch management committee but reports to it on corporate investments. The branch allocates local responsibility for these functions to A and B. Neither A nor B performs any other FCA-designated senior management function or PRA-designated senior management function 4.	A only needs approval to perform the executive director function 4. B needs approval to perform the other local responsibility function. 3
(4) A branch does not have a Head of Internal Audit. ‘P’ is allocated local responsibility for internal audit in relation to that branch.	P needs approval to perform the other local responsibility function. However, if P has already been approved to perform another FCA-designated senior management function or PRA-designated senior management function for that firm 4, then P will not be performing the other local responsibility function.
(5) ‘A’ is appointed to perform the executive director function 4. The same branch also allocates local responsibility for some branch functions to A. 3	A only needs approval to perform the executive director function 4. 3
(6) ‘A’ is approved to perform the other local responsibility function. Later, A is appointed to perform the executive director function 4 for the same firm. 3	A requires approval for the other local responsibility function when A is first appointed. When A is later approved to perform the executive director function 4, A stops performing the other local responsibility function. The firm should use Form E to apply for approval for A to perform the executive director function and to notify the FCA that A is no longer performing the other local responsibility function.4 3 3
(7) ‘A’ is appointed to perform: (a) the compliance oversight function for one firm (Firm X) in a group (which may or may not be an SMCR firm to which the other local responsibility function applies4); and (b) a function coming within the scope of the other local responsibility function for the United Kingdom branch of4 another firm (which is an overseas SMCR firm to which the other local responsibility function applies4) in the same group (Firm Y).	A needs approval to perform the compliance oversight function for Firm X and the other local responsibility function for Firm Y.
(8) ‘A’ is appointed to take on some functions that come within the other local responsibility function. Later, A is appointed as chief risk officer. A is a type of firm for which being chief risk officer is a PRA designated senior management function.4	On A’s first appointment, A will need to be approved to perform the other local responsibility function. On being approved as chief risk officer, A stops performing the other local responsibility function 4.
(9) ‘A’ is appointed as an executive director. A then resigns and takes up a job with the same firm coming within the other local responsibility function 4.	On A’s first appointment, A will need to be approved to perform the executive director function 4. A will need to get approval to perform the other local responsibility function before A takes up their new responsibilities4. 3
Note: Local responsibility is explained in SYSC 26 (Senior managers and certification regime: Overall and local responsibility).4
