The Capital Markets Authority (CMA) has rolled out a new online financial reporting system designed to streamline regulatory submissions for licensed market intermediaries.
In a statement on Monday, January 12, CMA explained that licensed market intermediaries are required to submit Risk Based Capital Adequacy (RBCA) returns and a full set of financial statements periodically.
“The Capital Markets (Licensing Requirements) (General) Regulations, 2002, the Guidelines on Financial Resource Requirements for Market Intermediaries and the Capital Markets (Online Foreign Exchange Trading) Regulations 2017 require licensed market intermediaries to prepare and submit Risk Based Capital Adequacy (RBCA) returns and a full set of financial statements periodically and within the prescribed timelines,” the statement read.
According to CMA, the submissions include monthly RBCA returns and management accounts, which must be prepared and submitted within fifteen days of the end of each calendar month.
The authority added that annual submissions, consisting of RBCA returns and audited financial statements, are to be submitted within three months following the end of the financial year.
