    • AU-B.1.1

      The Authorisation requirements in Chapter AU-1 are generally applicable to the public, in that they prevent a person (whether legal or natural) from undertaking certain specified activities if they do not hold the appropriate authorisation from CBB or marketing any financial services unless specifically allowed to do so by the CBB (see Rule AU-1.1.1). In addition, those applying for authorisation are also required to comply with the relevant requirements and procedures contained in this Module.
