Individuals may be on the register for active SM and Certified functions at the same time, so they will be included in both figures.

CR refers to the Certification Regime. Unlike under the Senior Managers Regime, we do not approve staff carrying out Certified Functions. Firms need to check and certify that these individuals are fit and proper themselves.
