Certainty chairs workshop at Carbon Expo Australasia

Daisy Nathania — Tue, 06 Nov 2012 05:21:07 +0000

On Wednesday 7 November, 13.30 – 14.30pm 13.30 – 14.30pm, Michelle East is chairing Workshop WS2.2 Do you need a licence to participate in carbon markets?.

Michelle is joined by panelists Craig McBurnie, Senior Specialist – Strategic Policy, ASIC; Timothy Thomas, Senior Analyst & Lawyer, Registry Services & Licensing, ASIC; Su-King Hii, Principal, Innovest Consulting; Matt Daley, Partner, Clayton Utz; John Kelly, Managing Director, Consult Insurance Solutions; and Claire Wivell Plater, Managing Director, The Fold Legal.

Whether someone trading, broking and advising in relation to carbon credits needs an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) requires careful consideration of their activities. For domestic and international participants there may be exemptions, for others their activities could constitute a breach of the regulations.

This is your chance to hear directly from the regulators about the requirements to hold an Australian Financial Services Licence and from a panel of service providers who have expertise in assisting organisations with planning for and obtaining their AFSL.

After a brief introduction from ASIC, we will hand over to you. We are seeking questions from the audience. If you can’t be there or would prefer to keep a low profile, send me your questions beforehand to:meast@certaintycompliance.com.au

Responsible Manager Program for Carbon Market Participants

Daisy Nathania — Fri, 03 Aug 2012 07:22:08 +0000

Financial services regulation is complex and new for many in the carbon market. Understanding your obligations is crucial for anyone in a senior position. As a Responsible Manger, you’re expected to know how the AFS licence requirements apply to your organisation.

In partnership with the Carbon Markets Institute, Certainty Compliance will be presenting a number of Workshops over the coming months. The Workshops are designed to help participants in the Carbon Markets understand their licence obligations.

The Workshops will focus on a number of areas, including:

The regulatory framework in the carbon markets
The roles and responsibilities of a Responsible Manger
Identifying your compliance requirements as a AFS licensee
Strategies for meeting the obligations you have an an ASF licensee

For all enquiries about the courses please telephone (02) 8324 5300 or email training@certaintycompliance.com.au

Do you need a licence to participate in carbon markets?

Daisy Nathania — Fri, 22 Jun 2012 03:51:25 +0000

Due to popular demand for this Thursday’s briefing by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) – Do you need a licence to participate in carbon markets? – CMI will host an additional webinar this Monday 25 June to ensure everyone can access this important and timely information.

The webinar will provide a brief by ASIC on the requirements for carbon market participants to obtain and hold an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL).

Date: Monday, 25 June 2012
Time: 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm AEST
Venue: Your PC! Or Join the Certainty group viewing
Structure: Free interactive webinar with Q&A

This is another great opportunity to hear from ASIC about the licensing process. I attended Thursday’s session. ASIC are taking a pragmatic approach to getting the industry licensed. This is a great opportunity to ask questions directly to the regulator. With only one week to go before the ‘free option’ of registration expires on 30 June, it is surprising to see very few carbon participants registered. I recommend those who have not decided yet whether to register to attend the webinar.

Certainty will be hosting a group viewing of Monday’s webinar with an opportunity to ask us your questions. This will be followed by our Carbon Markets Essentials Transitioning to AFS licensing course that goes through in detail the licensing process. To read about this more course click here.
