Prior to the introduction of this Module, the BMA had issued Regulations and various circulars containing requirements covering different aspects of financial crime. These requirements were consolidated and updated into a comprehensive financial crime regulation, issued in January 2006 to all non-bank and non-insurance licensees (including investment firm licensees, except those licensed as Bahrain Stock Exchange brokers). In turn, this new consolidated regulation was transposed, with no substantive changes, into Version 01 of this Module. This and other regulations replaced by this Module are listed below:
