• UG-2.2 UG-2.2 Volume Structure

    • Modules

      • UG-2.2.1

        Modules in Volume 5 are divided into Common and Specific Modules based on the nature of each specialised licensee. The contents of Common Modules apply to all specialised licensees, while the contents of Specific Modules apply to one specific type of licensee (e.g. Money Changers).

      • UG-2.2.2

        Each Module in Volume 5 is referenced using a two-or three-letter code, which is usually a contraction or abbreviation of its title. For each Specific Module, in addition to the title, the type of licensee is mentioned. These codes are used for cross-referencing within the text.

    • Chapters

      • UG-2.2.3

        Each Module consists of Chapters, categorised into two types:

        •   Standard introductory Chapters (referenced with a letter: e.g. UG-A); and
        •   Chapters containing the substantive content of the Module (referenced with a number: e.g. CA-1, CA-2, etc.)

      • UG-2.2.4

        The introductory Chapters summarise the purpose of the Module, its history (in terms of changes made to its contents) and, where relevant, lists previously issued circulars and regulations that were replaced by the Rulebook Module. A separate introductory Chapter also prescribes the scope of application of the Module's requirements.

    • Sections and Paragraphs

      • UG-2.2.5

        Chapters are further sub-divided into Sections: these extend the Chapter numbering (e.g. FC-1.1, FC-1.2, FC-1.3 etc). In turn, Sections are sub-divided into Paragraphs; these extend the Chapter and Section numbering (e.g. FC-1.1.1, FC-1.1.2, FC-1.1.3 etc.). Where appropriate, sub-Section headings may be used, to guide the reader through a Section; sub-Section headings are italicised and unnumbered, and act purely as an indicator (without limitation) as to the contents of the Paragraphs that follow.
