This course provides an in-depth overview of the compliance framework and risk management obligations applicable to Cypriot Investment Firms (CIFs). It explores the regulatory foundation under Law 87(I)/2017, which transposes MiFID II into Cyprus law, and examines core requirements such as authorisation, governance, organisational conditions, and investor protection. The course also addresses the Investor Compensation Fund (ICF), obligations relating to client assets, outsourcing, conflicts of interest, and supervisory powers of CySEC and the Central Bank of Cyprus. In addition, the course presents the new prudential framework under the Investment Firms Regulation (IFR) and Investment Firms Directive (IFD), focusing on capital requirements, K-factors, liquidity, and disclosure obligations. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of CIF compliance responsibilities and practical strategies for implementing robust risk management frameworks.
