Regulatory Policy Development & Compliance Documentation Advisory
At ABM Global Compliance, we help EMIs and Payment Institutions develop, review and enhance their regulatory policies and procedures. Our role is focused exclusively on compliance advisory, regulatory alignment and documentation support. The regulated institution remains responsible for approving, implementing and operating its policies and procedures.
Keeping Compliance Frameworks Current, Clear & Regulatory-Aligned
Policies and procedures form an important part of the compliance framework for Electronic Money Institutions (EMIs) and Payment Institutions (PIs) operating in Cyprus. They should clearly translate regulatory requirements into responsibilities, governance arrangements and internal compliance standards. At ABM Global Compliance, we help EMIs and Payment Institutions develop, review and enhance their regulatory policies and procedures.
As regulations, services and business models evolve, existing documentation may need to be reviewed and updated to remain aligned with applicable Cyprus and EU requirements. ABM helps EMIs and Payment Institutions in Cyprus maintain clear, current and regulatory-aligned documentation that supports stronger accountability as their business and regulatory environment evolve.

Your Questions Answered
How often should policies be updated?
At least annually, and immediately after regulatory change, new products, restructuring, or supervisory findings. the CBC expects documentation to reflect current operational reality.
What policies do regulated firms need?
Governance and accountability, AML/CFT, risk management, compliance monitoring, outsourcing, conflicts, and sector-specific areas such as safeguarding. The exact set depends on your licence.
Are template policies good enough?
Rarely. Supervisors read policies against your actual business, and generic templates describing activities you do not perform create findings rather than prevent them.
Who should own policies internally?
Each policy needs a named senior owner responsible for accuracy, implementation, and review, with board approval for the core framework. Ownership turns documents into governance.
Can you review our existing documentation?
Yes. We assess existing policies against current Cypriot and European requirements and your real operations, then update what genuinely needs updating.
