The Draft Proposed Chapter sets out purpose, scope and key definitions for the regulatory regime, identifying the persons and activities to which the chapter applies. It establishes core obligations for regulated entities including governance and senior manager responsibilities, risk assessment and mitigation, record‑keeping and reporting requirements, and cross‑border applicability; it also defines terms used throughout the chapter and the relationship with existing legislative instruments.

The chapter describes the supervisory and compliance framework, specifying authorisation and notification processes, ongoing supervision, enforcement powers and sanctions, and remedial measures. It includes transitional provisions, a timetable for implementation, a summary of stakeholder consultation and an outline of intended review and amendment mechanisms to monitor effectiveness and compliance.
