SIF Briefings
Governance Update for Significant Influence Function holders
- Executive and Non-executive directors
Know what the FSA’s new governance requirements mean for you and your firm
Briefing Outline and Objectives
Spotlight on Senior Management
The effectiveness of Boards, and the individuals who comprise and influence them, has become a key focus of FSA activity. The imminent Policy Statement on Effective Governance is important for all regulated firms, who will need to make changes to their governance structure, recruitment policies and support for executive training.
This briefing has been designed specifically for executives and non-executives in Significant Influence Functions, to bring them right up to date with the new regulatory requirements, published in September 2010, and to help them consider what these changes mean in practical terms.

- Know what the more detailed competence standards imply for future demands on your time
