The Monetary Authority of Singapore issues this notice to impose ongoing regulatory requirements on specified licence holders and exempt persons conducting qualifying businesses through foreign offices under cross-border arrangements. The regulations mandate strict restrictions on corporate finance advice involving public companies or prospectus offers, while requiring robust internal controls including detailed record-keeping and written policies for foreign representatives. Entities must also comply with specific notification deadlines for initiating, changing, or ceasing arrangements, alongside annual declarations to mitigate associated risks.
