SFC and AFRC extend regulatory cooperation to financial reporting of licensed firms and funds under new MoU
Why this matters
This is an informational announcement of an inter-regulatory MoU that supersedes a 2021 agreement. It covers financial reporting and audit oversight for licensed corporations, virtual asset service providers, authorized funds, and registered fund companies. The update demonstrates regulatory coordination and governance enhancement but does not impose new direct obligations on firms or establish new rules. The broad scope across multiple sectors and firm types, combined with explicit governance and coordination mechanisms, elevates it above routine administrative updates.
