The SFO requires appointment of Responsible Officers (ROs) for each licensed corporation. ROs bear significant responsibilities and duties, and it is essential that every RO and licensed corporation understands what these are, along with the serious consequences if these responsibilities and duties are not fulfilled. We will, by reference to real life examples, provide an overview of the RO regime, the key duties and responsibilities of ROs and the pitfalls that ROs need to avoid.
