  • SECP warns public against investing in ponzi schemes

    SECP warns public against investing in ponzi schemes

    ISLAMABAD: The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) on Tuesday warned general public not to invest in fraudulent investment and ponzi schemes that are promising hefty profits and unrealistic incentives to trap innocent people.

    The SECP said that it has come to the regulator knowledge that companies namely M/s. BH Online Jobs (SMCPrivate) Limited, Corporate Automobiles (Private) Limited and Best Day Innovative Solutions (Private) Limited are engaged in unauthorized and dubious business activities.

    The SECP received numerous complaints that these companies are offering investment plans such as leasing/financing of cars, motorcycles, houses etc. and involved in illegal banking business without lawful authority.

    These activities are prohibited and contrary to the object clause of their Memorandum of Association.

    These entities trap people by offering high rates of return with little risk to investors.

    They market their schemes through local newspapers, social media, websites and pamphlets etc.

    The SECP has already initiated legal proceedings for winding up these companies.

    Moreover, the SECP has also received a number of complaints and queries regarding an entity B4U.

    This entity is raising unauthorized deposits from the general public in the name of different investment plans.

    It is clarified that “B4U Trades” is not registered with the SECP.

    The general public is hereby cautioned in their own interest and advised not to be misled by such schemes.

    This warning is being issued to safeguard the interests of all stakeholders, who are presently dealing with these businesses.

    The SECP has time and again clarified that mere registration of a company with it, does not necessarily mean that these companies are allowed to take illegal deposits from general public.

  • Half of registered companies not complying with mandatory return filing

    Half of registered companies not complying with mandatory return filing

    ISLAMABAD: Almost half of the companies registered with Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) have been found as non-compliant in mandatory income tax return filing.

    The Year Book 2018/2019 of Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) revealed that 43,246 corporate returns were filed for Tax Year 2018.

    However, the official details shared by SECP showed that it registered 87,622 companies by June 30, 2018.

    According to Section 114 of Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 it is mandatory for every company to file annual income tax return.

    The statistics of FBR’s Year Book 2018/2019, however, revealed that corporate return filing was gradually increasing.

    However, despite all efforts the corporate return filing was increased to 43,246 for Tax Year 2018, which was 38,417 in Tax Year 2017 and 35,504 in Tax Year 2016.

    The overall income tax return filing has witnessed sharp increase in tax year 2018. The FBR data showed that the total return filing increased to 2.66 million in tax year 2018 as compared with 1.89 million in tax year 2017, showing 41 percent increase.

    The significant growth was seen in return filing by individuals. The individuals including salary and business filed 2.56 million annual returns for tax year 2018 as compared with 1.79 million in tax year 2017, showing 42.4 percent increase.

    The FBR said that in past the trend for filing of income tax returns has not been satisfactory in Pakistan.

    Keeping in view very low compliance, FBR had initiated a Broadening of Tax Base (BTB) drive few years ago, which has not started paying dividends in shape of growth in the number of filers.

    The income tax returns which were just 1.5 million in tax year 2016 have crossed the two million mark first time in the history of FBR.

    During tax year 2017 the number of income tax filers reached to 1.9 million and in tax year 2018 increased to 2.2 million.

    During TY 2018 the number of return filers increased by 17.1 percent or 316,526 in absolute terms.

    This performance in terms of number of returns is satisfactory but payment with returns has a meager growth of 3.0 percent, which is the matter of concern.

  • SECP approves regulations for small companies to raise capital

    SECP approves regulations for small companies to raise capital

    ISLAMABAD: Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has approved listing regulations for small companies to raise funds through capital markets.

    A statement on Tuesday said that the SECP had approved the Growth Enterprise Market Listing Regulations to enable Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), Green field projects, Not for Profit and other companies to raise capital through capital markets conveniently.

    SECP has advised Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) to arrange publication of new regulations in the official Gazette of Pakistan to replace PSX’s existing regulations governing listing and trading of equity securities of SMEs.

    The Growth Enterprise Market regulations designed especially to facilitate small enterprises, startups and green field companies that are aspiring to raise funds through capital markets but cannot fulfill the cumbersome conditions for listing on the Main Board of PSX.

    Hence, in addition to the main board of PSX, the Growth Enterprise Market (GEM) will be a second board at PSX for listing and trading of equity securities. However, the trading screen for both boards will be same.

    The new board provides a more conducive regulatory environment as compared to the main board.

    For listing on GEM board, any public limited company having audited accounts for the last two financial years and post issue paid up capital of at least Rs25 million is eligible.

    The minimal fee for listing on GEM board is Rs50,000, that is significantly low as compare to listing on PSX main Board, where minimum listing fee is Rs200,000.

    Moreover, to facilitate the issuers, any person licensed with the SECP as securities broker or consultant to the issue can act as Advisor.

    The issuer may offer, by way of information memorandum, only 10 percent of the post issue paid up capital to the eligible investors. The said board also allows green field project and non-profitable companies to raise funds.

    Moreover, the companies listed on GEM board may graduate to the main board subject to the fulfillment of prescribed criteria. However, reverse migration is not allowed.

    In order to create liquidity on the GEM board, the concept of eligible investor has been introduced and minimum lot size has been linked with the main board of the PSX, which is currently 500 shares.

    Eligible investor includes all institutional investors and eligible individual investors registered with NCCPL that have financial strength or expertise.

    The post listing requirements of GEM board are also relaxed as compared to the main board such as non-applicability of code of corporate governance, submission of half yearly progress report as compared to quarterly progress report.

  • SECP introduces concept of trading only brokers for expanding investor base

    SECP introduces concept of trading only brokers for expanding investor base

    ISLAMABAD: Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has introduced a concept of trading only brokers for expanding investor base at the capital market.

    In the proposed regime, to provide maximum facilitation to small sized brokers, which would be categorized as trading only brokers and shall not retain custody of client assets, the minimum capital requirements for a brokerage license are being reduced to Rs15 million, said a statement issued by the SECP on Wednesday.

    Further, such brokers shall have the flexibility to have a satisfactory QCR rating auditor. These brokerage houses would be allowed to carry out transactions in all markets, including derivatives and leveraged products, with no restriction on number of branches, the SECP said.

    It said that the SECP had undertaken a reform agenda to revitalize the capital market and promote expansion of investor base. It is felt that small and medium sized brokerage houses, alongside large ones, have a critical role to play in this regard.

    Based on representations received from various stakeholders including small sized brokers and recommendations of the Stock Market Reform Committee, the SECP issued a concept paper to introduce categorization of brokers for addressing the issue of custody of client assets.

    This concept is in line with international best practices and tailored to local market requirements, it added.

    The SECP said that under the proposed concept the small sized brokers would be allowed to provide securities and futures advisory services by charging a fee and sell/distribute financial products and also act as consultants to the issue.

    Several compliance requirements relating to client asset segregation, clearing membership, depository participants etc. shall not be applicable on trading only brokers and they would also not be subject to multiple audits/inspections during a year.

    For promoting ease of doing business for small sized brokerage houses, the SECP had earlier removed the requirement to provide separate net capital balance certificates which is now required to be made part of audited accounts of brokers. Requirement for auditors to provide limited assurance report of brokers has also been abolished.

    Furthermore, two additional categories i.e. trading and clearing broker and trading and self clearing broker have been proposed which shall be subject to enhanced net worth, corporate governance, compliance and rating requirements as they would be retaining custody of clients assets.

  • SECP softens regulatory regime for rating companies

    SECP softens regulatory regime for rating companies

    ISLAMABAD: Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has softened regulatory regime for credit rating companies through amendments in the Credit Rating Companies Regulations, 2016.

    A statement issued on Friday, the SEPC said that Credit Rating Agencies (CRAs) play vital role in development of financial markets and conduct independent, professional and impartial assessment of the credit risk associated with a particular instrument or a corporate entity.

    The Securities Exchange Commission of Pakistan, to provide more conducive regulatory environment to Credit Rating Companies (CRCs) has introduced amendments in the Credit Rating Companies Regulations, 2016.

    The amendments have been designed while considering the dynamics of local industry and international best practices. The changes in regulatory framework aim at providing ease of doing business and promoting rating business without compromising quality of ratings.

    To provide the ease of doing business and reduce cost of business, the SECP has abolished the requirements for disengagement period of two years for private ratings, submission of annual accounts of associated concerns and obtaining documents relating to default status of associated concern.

    In addition, the requirements for submission of industry specific studies, additional copies of application, submission of updated resume, and dissemination of the financial statements of CRCs on their website also removed. In order to reduce cost of doing business, the SECP has waived fee to be paid at the time of permission and renewal of license. Further, the fee at the time of grant of licnese has been reduced from Rs1,000,000 to Rs100,000 only.

    To encourage new professional entrants with extensive research experience, individuals have been allowed to hold 40% of shareholding of Credit Rating Company.

    To ensure that CRCs focus on their core function, CRCs have been allowed to outsource their internal audit and compliance functions to independent chartered accountants firms.

    The regulations would result in reducing regulatory burden on CRCs with special emphasis upon building structural strength leading to enhancing the credibility of processes and procedure associated with the credit rating.

  • Financial institutions report 219 suspicious transactions since AML/CFT regulatory framework launch: SECP

    Financial institutions report 219 suspicious transactions since AML/CFT regulatory framework launch: SECP

    ISLAMABAD: The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has said around 219 Suspicious Transactions Reports (STRs) have been generated by financial institutions since launch of its Anti-Money Laundering (AML)/Counter Financing Terrorism (CFT) regulatory framework.

    The SECP in a statement on Thursday said that its risk based approach for effective implementation of AML/CFT regulatory framework ensued significant improvement in filing of Suspicious Transactions Reports (STR) with FMU.

    To align itself with FATF’s standards (40 recommendations), SECP developed a single set of regulations namely SECP AML/CFT Regulations in June 2018.

    SECP also developed a comprehensive guideline to help regulated persons in creating an effective AML/CFT risk assessment and compliance framework.

    Since the promulgation of consolidated AML/CFT regulations, the financial institutions have generated a total of 219 STRs, as compared to only 13 in the last eight years.

    The SECP conducted 167 inspections focusing on AML/CFT compliance in the cases of 72 Securities Brokers, 27 NBFCs, 13 Insurance Companies and 55 High Risk NPOs.

    Significant penalties have been imposed for non-compliances with the said Regulations.

    Financial Institutions have undertaken remedial measures to ensure effective compliance with the said Regulations. Automated screening software has been deployed by many Financial Institutions to screen the proscribed persons.

    The regulated entities now also have access to GoAML system of the FMU for online filing of STR.

    The SECP successfully made transition from one-size fits all to a risk based approach to implement a consolidated AML/CFT regulatory framework in its regulated financial sector comprising of stock and commodity brokers, NBFCs, Modarabas and the Insurers/Takaful operators.

    Further to effectively identify assess and understand the ML/TF risks that Pakistan faces, a National ML/ TF Risk Assessment was undertaken in 2019 to assess ML/TF vulnerabilities that are inherent within the financial sector including banking, NBFC, brokers and insurance.

    NRA aimed to put in place actions and control measures to mitigate those risks. FMU led the task in collaboration with stakeholders including ministries, law enforcement agencies, SBP and SECP.

    The risk assessment and understanding enabled SECP and the regulated entities to implement the much needed control mechanism to check potential abuse by money launderers and terrorist financiers.

    Subsequent to NRA, SECP embarked on a comprehensive awareness raising program to develop the risk understanding and AML Obligations of the regulated sectors and shared the NRA 2019 with its regulated sectors.

    SECP’s continuous efforts have resulted in improvement in compliance level of the regulated entities and effective control measures are now implemented to combat money laundering and terrorist financing.

    The SECP has also revamped its overall risk based supervisory mechanism and works closely with national stakeholder’s inter-alia FMU, SBP etc. for mutual peer review and evaluation of SECP’s regulated financial sector.

    Eversince the Commission has adopted a risk-based approach to supervision and monitoring in the area of AML/CFT, it has completed sector risk assessment and enhanced risk based supervisory activities encompassing all high-risk entities and is spreading the scope of supervision to next tier moderate risk entities.

    Remedial actions and dissuasive sanctions on non-compliance are now part of it’s enforcement regime.

    Recently, the Asia-Pacific Group of Money Laundering (APG) has adopted Pakistan’s Mutual Evaluation Report (MER) in its 22nd Annual Meeting held in Canberra, Australia from 18-23 August 2019, which has now been uploaded on APG’s website as per procedure.

    It is pertinent to mention that Pakistan’s Mutual Evaluation Report (MER) provides a summary of the AML/CFT measures in place in Pakistan as of October 2018.

    A large component of the above reforms were implemented after October 2018 and are not reflected in the MER published now by APG.
