                                              FATCA and CRS represent the two main types of Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI) that regulated financial services institutions need to be concerned with. Becoming part of these reporting frameworks is key to any jurisdiction remaining a viable financial services centre. Both FATCA & CRS have now been implemented, and whereas initial classification and reporting may have been carried out by a small team within an organisation it will be incumbent on all staff to be aware of FATCA/CRS requirements going forwards.

                                                            Market abuse is behaviour which affects a financial market adversely and which can unreasonably disadvantage investors in that market, directly or indirectly. There is a very wide range of abusive behaviour which, broadly, can be divided into insider dealing, misuse of information, and market manipulation. This module examines market abuse, its offences, scope, penalties, international perspective, reporting obligations and the relationship with other offences.
