PRA and FCA require individuals within both the Senior Manager Regime and the Certification Regime to be assessed at least every 12 months as Fit and Proper. The regulators specify certain elements that make up the Fit and Proper test and expect the assessment to be clearly documented.
 
From an employment law perspective every individual should be treated fairly and there should be some consistency in the approach taken to the Fit and Proper assessment given the potential consequences of failing the assessment.
 
Our Fit and Proper Assessment template incorporates regulatory expectations and achieves a fairness to individuals in how they are assessed. It is designed for use by the assessor, which is usually the line manager who may not have the regulatory expertise to know what they must cover and how they should approach each element of the test.
