Nigeria’s Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC), on Tuesday, announced plans to hold registration interviews for all applicants seeking to function in various capacities in the Nigerian Capital Market between August 14 and 18, 2017.
A statement on the commission’s website said the interview for which invitations have been sent to all candidates shortlisted would hold at its Zonal Office on Number 3, Idejo Street, Victoria Island Lagos.
Meanwhile, the commission had last week called the attention of capital market operators to a consolidated grid for rendition of various Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) returns to its office, as well as the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU).
The statement said “the Commission has approved and uploaded reporting templates required for rendition of other categories of AML/CFT returns in line with the SEC AML/CFT regulations for Capital Market Operators in ADDITION to reports on FTRs, STRs and CTRs required to be rendered in accordance with the provisions of the Money Laundering Prohibition Act, 2011 (as amended) and Terrorism Prevention Act, 2011 (as amended).”
While warning that all such returns are statutory, the SEC expects all to strictly comply with the circular and that CMOs must use the Consolidated Grid Template for the Rendition of Various Returns to the SEC and NFIU as applicable and that such be submitted electronically as it will not accept any report submitted in hard copies.
