The Monetary Authority of Singapore issued this circular to broker-dealers following thematic inspections that identified deficiencies in anti-money laundering and business conduct controls. The document mandates enhanced compliance with revised regulations, requiring formalized policies, rigorous customer due diligence, enterprise-wide risk assessments, and strict screening against terrorist financing lists. Additionally, broker-dealers are required to implement timely post-execution trade reviews to detect market manipulation and ensure effective oversight by senior management.
