The Authority issued a consultation paper relating to the regulation of corporate service providers. The objective is to provide a regime for prudential oversight of the business of corporate service providers. To effect this level of regulatory oversight, the attached Bill has been prepared which mirrors the regulatory powers vested in the Authority to supervise other regulated entities including investment business and trustees. Comments on the bill are invited by 28th November 2011.

This is an Explanatory Memorandum to accompany the Proposed Corporate Service Provider Business Act 2011 (the “Bill”). Highlights of the Explanatory Memorandum include: a Summary of the Bill; details of the Exchange Control (Transitional Amendments) as well as Consequential Amendments to Companies Act 1981 and various Partnership Acts.

The purpose of this Consultation Paper is to inform the regulated financial sector specifically, and the community at large, of the proposals for additional powers and to invite comment on their suitability for inclusion in the Bermudian financial regulatory legislation.
