Quarterly Updates
UG-3.1.1
If changes to the Rulebook are required, these will usually only be made every quarter, in early January, April, July and October (the only exceptions being when changes are urgently required). This way, users are generally aware when to expect any changes. Not every quarter will necessarily see changes being made, however.
UG-3.1.2
When changes are made to a Module, the amended Sections are given a new version date, in the bottom right-hand page. The contents page for each amended Module is also updated: the table of contents is changed to show the new version date for each amended Section (in the 'Date Last Changed' column), and the contents page itself is also given its own new version date in the bottom right-had corner. The Module contents pages thus act as a checklist for hard-copy users to verify the current version dates for each Section in that Module.
UG-3.1.3
A summary of any changes made to a Module is included in the Module History Section of each Module. The table summarises the nature of the change made, the date of the change, and the Module components and relevant pages affected. The Module History can thus be used to identify which pages were updated within individual Sections.
UG-3.1.4
The website version of the Rulebook acts at all times as the definitive version of the Rulebook. Any changes are automatically posted to the CBB website, together with a summary of those changes. Licensees are in addition e-mailed every quarter, to notify them of any changes (if any). Hard-copy users are invited to print off the updated pages from the website to incorporate in their Rulebook in order to keep it current.
UG-3.1.5
Capital market participants should note that the requirements contained in Volume 6 of the CBB Rulebook are additional to those contained in other Rulebook Volumes. Thus, market participants licensed as investment firms (for example) are required to comply with their license requirements contained in Volume 4, in addition to requirements contained in Volume 6 that apply to their capital markets activities.
