This guide is designed to help with creating a new Statement of Responsibility (SoR) for a brand new Senior Manager Rule. If the SoR you want to create is replacing a pre-existing Senior Manager, this will require a Handover in the system.

Adding functions and responsibilities

When you start to the statement of responsibility, you can assign the senior manager functions and prescribed responsibilities.

You can then choose the SMFs that apply to this individual from the list provided. This list will only show SMFs that apply to your firm type.

You can then also assign responsibilities to the individual, by selecting from the list of available responsibilities.

Note - If there is a responsibility greyed out this means that the responsibility is currently held by and individual in the system and therefore will require a handover to share/handover the responsibility.

We can also add committee positions to the SoR.

You can select from the list of committees to add to the SoR.

When you have added the Committees, you will need to add the positions that the individual holds on those committees.

We can add the individuals direct reports, these are individuals that report into this person you want to appear on the Management Responsibilities Map (MRM).

You can select any individual within the firm to add as a direct report.

The Solid & Dotted line refers to the type of line that will show on the MRM diagram of allocation.

Supplementary Information is any additional Information that you want to appear on the SoR and MRM.
