Your Questions Answered
Who supervises capital markets in Austria?
The Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA) is the national competent authority for investment firms, trading venues, issuers, and market conduct, applying MiFID II, MAR, and EMIR.
What rules apply to investment firms?
MiFID II and MiFIR for authorisation, conduct, and reporting, MAR for market abuse, EMIR and SFTR for derivatives, the FM-GwG for financial crime, and applicable prudential requirements.
How long does authorisation take in Austria?
Most Austrian authorisations run several months to a year from submission, plus preparation. Complete, well-evidenced applications with credible governance move through review meaningfully faster.
Do you support firms after authorisation?
Yes. Most of our work is ongoing: compliance monitoring, regulatory change management, policy updates, reporting support, independent reviews, and training throughout the supervisory relationship.
Are your services advisory only?
Yes, deliberately. ABM Global Compliance never operates regulated businesses or holds client funds. We build, strengthen, and review your compliance arrangements while you remain the regulated operator.
