In safeguarding and protecting the interest of investors in securities and the integrity of the Eastern Caribbean Securities Market (ECSM), the Eastern Caribbean Securities Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is proposing to provide a set of Compliance and Internal Control Guidelines for Entities Licensed under the Securities Act. The Guidelines set forth the minimum standards for all entities engaged in the conduct of securities business in the ECSM.
Therefore, in order to encourage the highest standards and principles of best practice among licensed market participants in the provision of any service relating to securities, the Commission intends to issue the attached Compliance and Internal Control Guidelines, which are designed to assist licensed entities in developing and implementing internal policies and procedures to direct the day-to-day conduct of securities business.
