The Ghana Securities and Exchange Commission issued this compliance manual to standardize the public issuance of securities by broker-dealers, investment advisers, and listed companies. It requires sponsors to submit complete draft prospectuses at least six weeks before an offer opens, undergo a structured review process, and maintain non-interest-bearing escrow accounts for all subscription monies. The guidelines further mandate timely disclosure of material information, strict adherence to refund and allotment timelines, and the submission of a post-offer report with applicable fees within fourteen days of offer closure.
