Self-reporting and Cooperation Program
Have you committed a compliance failure or breach under a law administered by the AMF? Report yourself and/or cooperate in exchange for the chance to benefit from a form of sanction relief.
Under the AMF’s Self-reporting and Cooperation Program, sanction relief may be granted to natural or legal persons that self-report by voluntarily disclosing information regarding breaches or failures they have committed and/or cooperate fully with an investigation into their activities.
The person must:
- Self-report promptly and openly to the AMF; and/or
- Cooperate fully and transparently with AMF staff by providing high-quality cooperation, i.e., truthful, complete and reliable reporting of the facts.
