IIROC publishes draft guidelines regarding KYC and suitability

Posted on October 5, 2009

On October 2, the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) published draft guidance respecting its members' know-your-client and suitability obligations. The draft guidance does not seek to amend relevant requirements, but rather "sets out IIROC's interpretation, expectations and suggested best practices" respecting meeting current obligations. The note discusses issues such as new account application requirements, know-your-client information and product suitability.

Considering the "significance of the subject matter", IIROC is accepting comments on the draft guidance until December 16, 2009.
