EisnerAmper Ireland hosts INED Forum III 2018 with Insurance Ireland on SEAR
On Thursday 22 November 2018, EisnerAmper Ireland & Insurance Ireland hosted the third in a series of INED fora in the St. Stephen’s Green Hibernian Club, Dublin 2, the final gathering in 2018 of the Industry INED community under the auspices of the Insurance Ireland – EisnerAmper Ireland INED Forum.
The event focused on the potential impacts and implications, for the industry, of proposals which have been outlined in recent speeches by, amongst others, the Central Bank of Ireland’s Director of Enforcement (August 2018), the Director of Securities and Markets Supervision (September 2018) and more recently by the wider senior management team at the Central Bank’s conference on Culture, Diversity and the Way Forward (October 2018) referencing proposals for the adoption of a Senior Executive Accountability Regime, or “SEAR”.
This proposed regime would place obligations on firms and senior individuals within them to set out clearly where responsibility and decision-making lie for their business. The new regime is intended to be modelled on the UK’s Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR).
Dave Montgomery, Partner, Head of Risk & Regulatory at EisnerAmper Ireland gave an introductory presentation outlining the background to the proposed SEAR regime and acted as the MC for the afternoon and the speakers included:
- Mary Fulton, INED
- Seamus Creedon, INED; and
- Jennifer Hoban, Insurance Ireland
