Under Section 34 of the Monetary Authority Act, the Authority is empowered to issue or revise Rules, Statements of Guidance, and Statements of Principle. Additionally, Section 48 mandates the creation of a Regulatory Handbook, which outlines the policies and procedures the Authority uses to perform its regulatory and cooperative duties.

Below is an index of these measures, including a checklist for Rules, Statements of Guidance, Regulatory Policies, Regulatory Procedures, and Forms relevant to the Investment Funds sector.

Rules

Rules are clear, mandatory directives issued to licensees on critical topics essential for the prudential oversight of regulated entities. These rules create binding obligations, and non-compliance may result in fines or regulatory actions by the Authority under its powers granted by the regulatory acts.

Statement of Guidance ("SOG")

Statements of Guidance are intended to help licensees comply with relevant laws, regulations, rules, and principles, or to outline standards for business conduct. These guidelines provide recommendations on how licensees should operate and serve as a benchmark against which the Authority will evaluate compliance.

Regulatory Policy

A Regulatory Policy outlines a set of principles, criteria, or approaches that guide the decisions and actions of the Authority in fulfilling its regulatory and cooperative roles.

Regulatory Procedure

A Regulatory Procedure describes the specific actions, activities, or tasks the Authority will undertake in executing its regulatory and cooperative responsibilities.
