Register today for OSC Dialogue 2024: Inviting, thriving and secure capital markets
Topical Guide for Registrants
The Topical Guide for Registrants is a collection of compliance and registration guidance materials, organized by topic, which has been developed by the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC). It is not an exhaustive list and does not provide references or links to Ontario securities laws. The content of the guide is provided for information purposes only and not as advice.
Registrants may wish to proactively use the guidance material they access through this guide as a self-assessment tool to strengthen their compliance with Ontario securities laws and, as appropriate, to make changes to enhance their systems of compliance, internal controls and supervision. We encourage firms to seek advice from a qualified professional as they conduct their self-assessment, implement any changes, or both.
The Topical Guide for Registrants was last updated on April 19, 2024.
