PRIN 1.1.9GRP
Some of the other rules and guidance in the Handbook deal with the bearing of the Principles upon particular circumstances. However, since the Principles are also designed as a general statement of regulatory requirements applicable in new or unforeseen situations, and in situations in which there is no need for guidance, the FCA's11 other rules and guidance or onshored regulations13 should not be viewed as exhausting the implications of the Principles themselves.11

1Example

Comments

(1) ‘A’ is appointed to perform the executive director function2 and to perform a potential other overall responsibility function for the same firm.

A only needs approval to perform the executive director function2.

(2) ‘A’ is approved to perform the other overall responsibility function. Later, A is appointed to perform the executive director function2 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 function2, 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 and to notify the FCA that A is no longer performing the other overall responsibility function2.

(3) ‘A’ is appointed to perform the PRA's Head of Key Business Area designated senior management function for Firm X2 and to perform a potential other overall responsibility function for the same firm. Firm X is an SMCR banking firm.2

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 for Firm X. Firm X is an SMCR banking firm.2 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 an SMCR firm to which the other overall responsibility function applies2); and

(b) a function coming within the scope of the other overall responsibility function for another firm (which is a an SMCR firm to which the other overall responsibility function applies2) 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 for Firm X2 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. Firm X is an SMCR banking firm.2

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.

The firm is one of those for which being chief risk officer is a PRA-designated senior management function or an FCA-designated senior management function3.

2

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, 2A will stop performing the other overall responsibility function.

(8) ‘A’ is appointed to a role for Firm X2 that comes within the other overall responsibility function. Firm X is an SMCR banking firm.2 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.

On A’s first appointment, A will need to be approved to perform the other overall responsibility function.2

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.2

(9) ‘A’ is appointed to a role for Firm X2 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 Rulebook2 titled ‘Senior Management Functions’, Chapter 2 of the part of the PRA Rulebook titled ‘Insurance - Senior Management Functions’ and Chapter 2 of the part of the PRA Rulebook titled ‘Large Non-Solvency II Firms – Senior Management Functions’4.

(10) ‘A’ is appointed to a role for Firm X2 that comes within the PRA's Head of Key Business Area designated senior management function. A also performs a potential other overall responsibility function. Later,2 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 function2. A will need to get approval to perform the other overall responsibility function before A takes up their new responsibilities.2

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.

The reference to financial promotions which are permitted to be communicated relates, in the FCA's opinion, to something which is expressly permitted rather than simply not expressly prohibited.
