The exposure draft proposes principal changes in three respects as follows. First, while maintaining the existing classification assessment system for securities companies that prioritizes the risk management capability and the continual compliance situation, and good practices in this regard, relevant assessment indicators are optimized to address prominent problems emerging in practice. Second, the orientation of business compliance and prudence is further stressed. With a view to making the results of classification assessment reflect more accurately the compliance and risk control situations in securities companies, the point-deduction rules over securities companies and their staff members that have been punished or subject to disciplinary measures are improved, the basis of downgrading the classification level if the corporate governance or the internal control completely fails or under other circumstances is clarified, and the indicators and standards for the assessment of the risk management capability are reviewed and enhanced. And third, the pursuit of professional service capabilities is further highlighted.
