CIMA Launches Prudential Information Survey for Registered Persons
The Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) has introduced a new Prudential Information Survey for entities registered as Registered Persons under the Securities Investment Business Act (SIBA).
This new requirement forms part of CIMA’s ongoing risk-based supervisory approach and is intended to enhance regulatory insight into sector activity and potential exposures.
Who is affected?
The survey applies to all Registered Persons under SIBA.
What is required?
Registered Persons must complete CIMA’s new Prudential Information Survey (form ADR-046-75-02), which includes approximately 40 questions covering areas such as:
- business activity and structure
- governance and risk frameworks
- operational resilience, outsourcing and technology
- AML/CFT-PF and sanctions risk management
Key deadlines
The survey relates to the 2025 reporting period (1 January to 31 December 2025) and must be submitted via CIMA’s REEFS portal by:
- 31 March 2026
Registered Persons should also note that this survey is in addition to the existing Annual Declaration, which is now due:
- 15 January 2026
Next steps
Registered Persons should review CIMA’s published guidance and ensure internal compliance calendars and reporting processes are updated to meet these new obligations.
