Features for regulated firms

Here are just some of the ways we support the needs of financial services firms

Senior Managers Regime

Ensure you have the complete picture

The Senior Managers Regime presents firms with a number of ongoing compliance issues, not least how to ensure there are no gaps in responsibility and accountability, that appropriate documents are up to date, and a history retained.

With Cezanne, Senior Management Functions can be linked to individuals so that accountability is clear, acceptance of statements of responsibility tracked, key documents uploaded, and reminders triggered to ensure steps aren’t missed. For example, when senior managers join, take on new responsibilities or leave.

Certified Staff

Manage re-certification easily

For HR teams, the recruitment, training and annual re-certification of key members of staff adds a significant administrative overhead. For example, organisations will need to have a performance review process that ensures their employees are ‘fit and proper’, not just annually but throughout the year.

Cezanne helps you take those challenges in your stride. Recruitment is simplified, training easier to track and the flexible performance module ensures you can capture the information needed to support re-certification, using the approach that works for you.

Conduct and Culture

Put the focus on culture

With its over-reaching aim to foster a culture of greater individual accountability, the SMCR rules don’t just focus on the what, but on the how.

Cezanne HR software comes with a host of smart features, from pulse surveys and own branding to information hubs, document tracking and automated notifications, that help promote employee engagement and ensure key activities are managed appropriately. You’ll find it is easier to embed and encourage best practice across your workforce, and evidence a compliant approach across your HR processes should you need to.

Succession planning

Build succession plans that work

The SMCR requires that firms can demonstrate a formalised and systematic approach to succession and career planning. For example, when a senior manager leaves the business, you’ll need to have a plan to ensure key tasks are not left unassigned.

Cezanne helps you take an organised approach to talent pool management and succession planning. You can map key positions, identify potential successors or succession gaps, and put in place career plans that show that you have put in place appropriate steps to ensure coverage for key positions.
