FIC proposes annual RMCP submissions for selected institutions
The draft directive will introduce a new recurring compliance obligation, with updated programmes also having to be lodged within 10 business days of approval.

The draft directive will introduce a new recurring compliance obligation, with updated programmes also having to be lodged within 10 business days of approval.

The Centre has refined the directive’s scope and addressed concerns over its legal basis, administrative burden, and practical application.

The FIC says fewer than 12% of accountable institutions facing the first filing deadline had submitted their returns by the middle of this month.

PCC 60 largely preserves the draft framework but clarifies how newly registered firms must report and confirms that third parties may not submit returns.

The specified accountable institutions have until 30 June or 31 July to complete and submit their RCRs.

The draft directive requires certain accountable institutions to submit RCR questionnaires covering information from 2023 to 2026.

The Financial Intelligence Centre says many accountable institutions have ignored its instructions to submit a risk and compliance return.
