CRED 4.2 Apportionment of responsibilities

Under 1SYSC 4.3.1 R1 every firm is required to take reasonable care to maintain an appropriate apportionment of significant responsibilities among its directors and senior managers, so that it is clear who has those responsibilities and so the firm can be governed adequately.

Among the significant responsibilities to be apportioned will be responsibility for:

1. (1)

   finance;

2. (2)

   lending;

3. (3)

   arrears control;

4. (4)

   money laundering reporting;
