Regulatory notices
Official regulator sources, practical impact notes, review dates, and evidence actions are kept together so FSPs can distinguish a new development from an obligation already in force.

Each update records the regulator, official source, current status, and practical implication for FSP controls, decisions, and evidence.
Last source review: 28 October 2026. Next scheduled review: 4 November 2026.
Status: The FIC's Directive 12 submission notice specified 9 October 2026 for accountable institutions under Schedule 1 items 1, 2, 9 and 11. That date has passed.
Practical impact: Affected institutions should retain the FIC acknowledgement of receipt and escalate any missing submission evidence. The notice explains that a comment at Step 5 is required to activate submission. Do not treat an uploaded draft as proof of successful submission.
Status: Binding determination in force from 1 September 2026. Joint Notice 2 of 2026 sets the form, manner and period for reporting material IT and cyber incidents under the Joint Standards.
Practical impact: In-scope discretionary and administrative FSPs, and Category I FSPs providing investment-fund administration, should classify material incidents, retain the completed template, and test submission through the FSCA Joint Standards Submission Portal. The notice does not apply this template to every FSP category.
Status: Legislative introduction notice. Government Gazette 54520 published the explanatory summary and notice of introduction in the National Assembly; this notice does not itself commence an Act.
Practical impact: Continue meeting current law and licence conditions. Track the parliamentary process and keep COFI readiness actions separate from binding obligations.
Status: Current regulatory roadmap, not a standalone binding rule. The rolling plan places COFI preparation inside a wider programme of conduct, licensing and cross-sector regulatory work.
Practical impact: Map relevant initiatives to the compliance change register and track the subordinate frameworks and consultations that may create future obligations.
Status: Current official preparation material. The FSCA Fit and Proper page lists 2026 preparation guides for RE1, RE3, RE4 and RE5; this is guidance, not a new legislative amendment.
Practical impact: Training files and candidate study plans should point to the current official guides and reference material.
Status: In force for public companies and state-owned companies. CIPC confirms that sections 30A and 30B commenced on 22 May 2026 and explains which post-commencement AGMs are affected.
Practical impact: An FSP incorporated as a public or state-owned company should confirm that its AGM timetable, remuneration policy and annual remuneration report reflect the commenced provisions.
Status: Binding subordinate legislation with staged commencement. Some rules applied from publication, specified procedural rules have applied since 1 October 2026, and further rules start on 1 April 2027.
Practical impact: Retirement funds and administrators should map complaints, information requests, non-cooperation, settlements and escalation processes to the applicable commencement dates. Check implementation evidence for the October phase now and plan separately for April 2027.
