The Abu Dhabi Global Market (\u201cADGM\u201d) has issued Consultation Paper 07 in order to gather feedback on its proposals to shake up the Company Service Provider (\u201cCSP\u201d) regime. But what are the changes and what might they mean for your company?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Background<\/b><\/p>\n
ADGM\u2019s CSP framework came into force on 12 April 2021.\u00a0 This framework was designed to ensure that CSPs operated within a robust regulatory regime, one that was in line with international best practice.<\/p>\n
Therefore, to qualify as a licensed CSP, entities must obtain approval from the ADGM Registration Authority<\/b> (\u201cRA\u201d) to undertake the business activity listed as \u201c7025 \u2013 Company Service Provider\u201d.\u00a0 A CSP licence enables these entities to provide the full suite of company services e.g. company formation, registered office address and company filing services.<\/p>\n
The ADGM have recently issued a Consultation Paper (\u201cCP\u201d) on the regime as the RA have concluded that the intended benefits<\/b> of the CSP regime have yet to be fully realised<\/b>.\u00a0 Therefore, this CP forms part of a broader project to consider and propose enhancements to the CSP framework.<\/p>\n
What are the proposals and what might they mean for us?<\/b><\/p>\n
The CP sets out a number of areas on which comment is sought.\u00a0 We have summarised the proposed changes and then analysed what the potential impact to your business might be.\u00a0 Take a look through the table below and see if any of these changes are relevant to your business.\u00a0 If they are, have a think whether you want to submit a comment to the ADGM on their proposals.\u00a0 If you need help formulating a response<\/b>, just drop us a line at hello@claritysolutions.ae<\/a> and let\u2019s have a chat.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n MANDATORY TRAINING CERTIFICATION FOR CSP STAFF<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Proposed Changes<\/span><\/p>\n \n<\/td>\n Potential impact on your business<\/span><\/p>\n \n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n AT LEAST ONE CSP STAFF MEMBER TO BE PHYSICALLY PRESENT IN THE ADGM OFFICE<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Proposed Changes<\/span><\/p>\n Potential impact on your business<\/span><\/p>\n \n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n AUDITED ACCOUNTS\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Proposed Changes<\/span><\/p>\n \n<\/td>\n Potential impact on your business<\/span><\/p>\n \n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n MLRO AND COMPLIANCE OFFICER<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Proposed Changes<\/span><\/p>\n \n<\/td>\n Potential impact on your business<\/span><\/p>\n \n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n MINIMUM REGULATORY CAPITAL<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Proposed Changes<\/span><\/p>\n \n<\/td>\n Potential impact on your business<\/span><\/p>\n \n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n PROFESSIONAL INDEMNITY (\u201cPI\u201d) INSURANCE\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Proposed Changes<\/span><\/p>\n \n<\/td>\n Potential impact on your business<\/span><\/p>\n \n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ANNUAL CSP RETURNS\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Proposed Changes<\/span><\/p>\n Potential impact on your business<\/span><\/p>\n \n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n CLARIFYING THE APPLIED PRINCIPLES<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Proposed Changes<\/span><\/p>\n \n<\/td>\n Potential impact on your business<\/span><\/p>\n \n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n EXEMPT SPVs AND FOUNDATIONS<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Proposed Changes<\/span><\/p>\n \n<\/td>\n Potential impact on your business<\/span><\/p>\n \n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Abu Dhabi Global Market (\u201cADGM\u201d) has issued Consultation Paper 07 in order to gather feedback on its proposals to shake up the Company Service Provider (\u201cCSP\u201d) regime.
