Self-regulatory organizations

A self-regulatory organization monitors or supervises the conduct of its members or participants as regards the carrying on of an activity governed by securities or derivatives legislation.

The AMF may delegate to a recognized organization the exercise of functions and powers conferred on it by law. The AMF currently delegates functions and powers to the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO).

This section lists current decisions pertaining to recognitions in respect of entities acting as self-regulatory organizations as well as amendments to, or the application of, such decisions. All other decisions are available in the AMF Bulletin.

This section also lists oversight plans and oversight review reports pertaining to self-regulatory organizations recognized by the Autorité des marchés financiers.
