Following the outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease
(COVID-19) and as part of the measures taken at The Exchange to respond and
reduce the business and economic impacts on the activities of DMFs, The
Exchange has approved a temporary suspension of the provisions of Rule 7.4:
Submission of Financial and Non-Financial Reports to The Exchange, Rulebook of
The Exchange, 2015 (Dealing Members' Rules) as amended, which states that:
"(a) Every Dealing Member shall submit to The Exchange
its audited financial statements, within ninety (90) calendar days of the end
of the fiscal year, and its quarterly returns within thirty (30) calendar days
of the end of the quarter; and any other periodic report within the period
stipulated by The Exchange".
The Exchange understands that some of the internal
governance, auditing and other processes including the engagement of external
auditors to carry out the audit of DMFs, may have been disrupted due to
COVID-19. Therefore, The Exchange is granting all DMFs an additional sixty (60)
day grace period for the submission of their Audited Financial Statement for
the year ended 31 December 2019, which is due for submission to The Exchange on
Monday, 30 March 2020.
In order to reduce the challenges caused by the
pandemic disease, the deadline for the submission of the Audited Financial
Statement for all DMFs has now been extended to Friday, 29 May 2020.
For further clarifications on the above, please
contact the Broker Dealer Regulation Department via nsebdr@nse.com.ng. Please be guided
accordingly.
