Supervision as a Recognised Body

A Recognised Body is required to deal with the DFSA and their home Financial Services Regulator/s in an open and co-operative manner. This includes keeping the DFSA promptly informed of significant events, as well as submitting a copy of annual reports and accounts.

The DFSA relies upon the home Financial Services Regulator to act as the primary regulator of the Recognised Body. The focus of the DFSA’s interest will be on activities carried on in the DIFC or activities which have an impact on the DIFC.
