    • AU-A.1.3

      Persons undertaking certain functions in relation to licensees require prior CBB approval. These functions (called 'controlled functions') include members of the Board of directors and members of senior management. The controlled functions regime supplements the licensing regime by ensuring that key persons involved in the running of licensees are fit and proper. Those authorised by the CBB to undertake controlled functions are called approved persons.
