Bangkok, May 22, 2015 ? The SEC revised regulations on business operation concerning report of significant change in operating system, suitability test and client asset report.

The Capital Market Supervisory Board approved the revision of regulations on business operators to require a report of change in operating system if the change significantly impacts the business undertaking. This is to enhance the efficiency in operating system examination and in line with the international standards. Additionally, the revised regulations allow more flexibility for suitability test; for example, if tested by other business operators within 2 years, the client will not be required to do the suitability test prior to making investment in newly issued shares, warrants or bonds. Also, the submission of client asset report will be more flexible in that the report must be sent within 5 working days of the following month to the clients or at least once a year to the clients who have been inactive for more than a year.
