The Croatian Financial Services Supervisory Agency (Hanfa) issued this Instruction to standardize the substantive completion and electronic submission of web forms for UCITS, AIF, OMF, and DMF funds. It mandates management companies to accurately populate mandatory fields—including fund identifiers, registration dates, and entity details—and attach supporting documentation in PDF or Excel format via the designated online portal. Effective 1 January 2023, this directive replaces the prior 2017 guidelines and establishes precise signing requirements, XML submission protocols, and field-specific validation rules for all status changes, auditor appointments, depositary updates, and liquidator registrations.
