In considering whether to issue a Direction, the criteria taken into consideration by the Central Bank include the following:

(a) the seriousness of the actual or potential contravention, in relation to the requirement(s) concerned and the risks posed to the licensee's customers, market participants and other stakeholders ;
(b) in the case of an actual contravention, its duration and/or frequency of the contravention; the extent to which it reflects more widespread weaknesses in controls and/or management; and the extent to which it was attributable to deliberate or reckless behaviour; and
(c) the extent to which the Central Bank's supervisory objectives would be better served by issuance of a Direction as opposed to another type of regulatory action.
