What we do – and the way we do it – will be familiar to any global financial business that presently operates in well-regulated financial centre, such as London or New York, and our powers and structure are consistent with international best practice.

However, operating in a dynamic emerging market as we do, we are conscious that many businesses looking to establish a regulated presence in the QFC may be unfamiliar with dealing with financial regulators and so it is worth setting out the scope of our work and the expectations entailed.

We are structured across two primary divisions and support functions, each responsible for separate functional areas:

Supervision and Authorisation 
Policy, Enforcement and Risk

 

 

Support Functions:

 

Finance

Human Resources

Information Technology (IT)

Corporate Communications (CC)

Operations

General Counsel

Internal Audit
