The Ministry of Foreign Securities has responsibility for four main areas in our work as a regulatory authority.

Supervision
As a watchdog for the financial sector, the Ministry of Foreign Securities is responsible for ensuring that our member firms maintain a high standard of professional conduct and ethics in all business they carry out with the investing public.

This is achieved by overseeing firms to make sure that they adhere to the rules governing their sector as closely and as accurately as possible.

If a company does not comply with the rules and standards that have been set, the Ministry of Foreign Securities is empowered to take action, disciplinary, criminal and/or civil to ensure that investors are protected and abusive companies are prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Prevention of Abuse
In the vast majority of cases, financial institutions do their best to stay within the guidelines and rules set out to them but in the case that a firm strays from these practices or treats a client in an unethical way, the Ministry of Foreign Securities has the ability to adjudicate problems between investors and institutions to achieve a satisfactory result.

If you have been approached by an unlicensed company with an offer of financial products or services, you may report it to the Ministry of Foreign Securities using our complaint registration form
