• Senior Management Responsibility

    • MIE-3.1.13

      The CBB is committed to ensuring that senior managers of CBB licensees, listed companies, issuers of securities and other persons fulfil their responsibilities. The CBB expects senior management to take responsibility for ensuring their organizations identify risks, develop appropriate systems and controls to manage those risks and ensure that the systems and controls are effective in practice. Where senior managers are themselves responsible for misconduct, the CBB will where appropriate, bring cases against individuals as well as organizations. The CBB believes that deterrence will most effectively be achieved by bringing home to such individuals the consequences of their actions.

    • MIE-3.1.14

      The CBB recognises that cases against individuals are very different in their nature from cases against corporate entities and the CBB is mindful that an individual will generally face greater risks from enforcement action in terms of financial implications, reputation and livelihood than would a corporate entity. However, taking action against individuals sends an important message about the CBB's regulatory objectives and priorities and the CBB considers that such cases have important deterrent values. The CBB is therefore committed to pursuing appropriate cases robustly, and will dedicate sufficient resources to them to achieve effective outcomes.
