This milestone introduces a comprehensive licensing and compliance framework that governs all corporate service providers operating in Singapore.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"858\" data-end=\"1048\">In this article, we explain the rationale behind the new law, break down its key provisions, and provide a roadmap for service providers and businesses ahead of the 2025 implementation date.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1055\" data-end=\"1107\"><strong data-start=\"1058\" data-end=\"1107\">1. Background: Why the CSP Act Was Introduced<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1109\" data-end=\"1377\">Over the years, Singapore has built a global reputation as a well-regulated and transparent business hub. <strong data-start=\"1215\" data-end=\"1226\">However<\/strong>, due to their proximity to the corporate formation process, <strong data-start=\"1287\" data-end=\"1318\">corporate service providers<\/strong> (CSPs) can be misused for illicit purposes. These include:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1378\" data-end=\"1585\">\n<li data-start=\"1378\" data-end=\"1443\">\n<p data-start=\"1380\" data-end=\"1443\">Setting up shell companies to obscure <strong data-start=\"1418\" data-end=\"1442\">beneficial ownership<\/strong>,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1444\" data-end=\"1508\">\n<p data-start=\"1446\" data-end=\"1508\">Facilitating <strong data-start=\"1459\" data-end=\"1479\">money laundering<\/strong> \u548c <strong data-start=\"1484\" data-end=\"1507\">terrorism financing<\/strong>,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1509\" data-end=\"1585\">\n<p data-start=\"1511\" data-end=\"1585\">Assisting in the <strong data-start=\"1528\" data-end=\"1558\">concealment of tax evasion<\/strong> or other financial crimes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1587\" data-end=\"2017\"><strong data-start=\"1587\" data-end=\"1602\">As a result<\/strong>, to address these risks and to align with evolving international standards set by the <strong data-start=\"1689\" data-end=\"1727\">Financial Action Task Force (FATF)<\/strong>, the Singapore government passed the CSP Act. This legislation empowers the <strong data-start=\"1804\" data-end=\"1860\">Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA)<\/strong> to oversee and license CSPs, and to enforce compliance with stringent <strong data-start=\"1931\" data-end=\"1962\">anti-money laundering (AML)<\/strong> \u548c <strong data-start=\"1967\" data-end=\"2004\">counter-terrorism financing (CFT)<\/strong> obligations.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2024\" data-end=\"2082\"><strong data-start=\"2027\" data-end=\"2082\">2. Implementation Timeline: What to Expect and When<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2084\" data-end=\"2170\">Understanding the timeline is critical for proper planning and compliance preparation:<\/p>\n<div class=\"_tableContainer_16hzy_1\">\n<div class=\"_tableWrapper_16hzy_14 group flex w-fit flex-col-reverse\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<table class=\"w-fit min-w-(--thread-content-width)\" data-start=\"2172\" data-end=\"2502\">\n<thead data-start=\"2172\" data-end=\"2238\">\n<tr data-start=\"2172\" data-end=\"2238\">\n<th data-start=\"2172\" data-end=\"2216\" data-col-size=\"sm\"><strong data-start=\"2174\" data-end=\"2183\">Event<\/strong><\/th>\n<th data-start=\"2216\" data-end=\"2238\" data-col-size=\"sm\"><strong data-start=\"2218\" data-end=\"2226\">Date<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody data-start=\"2305\" data-end=\"2502\">\n<tr data-start=\"2305\" data-end=\"2370\">\n<td data-start=\"2305\" data-end=\"2348\" data-col-size=\"sm\">CSP Act commencement<\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"sm\" data-start=\"2348\" data-end=\"2370\">28 June 2024<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"2371\" data-end=\"2436\">\n<td data-start=\"2371\" data-end=\"2414\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Start of transitional period<\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"sm\" data-start=\"2414\" data-end=\"2436\">28 June 2024<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"2437\" data-end=\"2502\">\n<td data-start=\"2437\" data-end=\"2480\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Mandatory compliance and enforcement<\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"sm\" data-start=\"2480\" data-end=\"2502\">9 June 2025<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div class=\"sticky end-(--thread-content-margin) h-0 self-end select-none\">\n<div class=\"absolute end-0 flex items-end\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-start=\"2504\" data-end=\"2639\"><strong data-start=\"2504\" data-end=\"2517\">Therefore<\/strong>, all CSPs should use this window to assess readiness, submit licensing applications, and implement the required controls.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2646\" data-end=\"2687\"><strong data-start=\"2649\" data-end=\"2687\">3. Who Is Affected by the CSP Act?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2689\" data-end=\"2848\">The Act applies broadly. <strong data-start=\"2714\" data-end=\"2730\">Specifically<\/strong>, it covers any business or individual who provides corporate services on a commercial basis. This includes those who:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2849\" data-end=\"3052\">\n<li data-start=\"2849\" data-end=\"2902\">\n<p data-start=\"2851\" data-end=\"2902\">Incorporate business entities on behalf of clients,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2903\" data-end=\"2980\">\n<p data-start=\"2905\" data-end=\"2980\">Provide <strong data-start=\"2913\" data-end=\"2934\">registered office<\/strong> or <strong data-start=\"2938\" data-end=\"2970\">nominee director\/shareholder<\/strong> services,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2981\" data-end=\"3014\">\n<p data-start=\"2983\" data-end=\"3014\">Act as a <strong data-start=\"2992\" data-end=\"3013\">company secretary<\/strong>,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3015\" data-end=\"3052\">\n<p data-start=\"3017\" data-end=\"3052\">File statutory documents with ACRA.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"3054\" data-end=\"3174\"><strong data-start=\"3054\" data-end=\"3070\">Consequently<\/strong>, law firms, accounting practices, and independent corporate secretarial firms all fall under its scope.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3181\" data-end=\"3243\"><strong data-start=\"3184\" data-end=\"3243\">4. Licensing Framework: A New Standard for Market Entry<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3245\" data-end=\"3382\">From 9 June 2025 onwards, all CSPs must hold a valid licence issued by ACRA. The framework distinguishes between two classes of licences:<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3384\" data-end=\"3405\">\u25cf Class A Licence<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3406\" data-end=\"3526\">This applies to CSPs that are <strong data-start=\"3436\" data-end=\"3473\">not registered public accountants<\/strong>, such as corporate secretarial and consulting firms.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3528\" data-end=\"3549\">\u25cf Class B Licence<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3550\" data-end=\"3637\">This applies to CSPs that are <strong data-start=\"3580\" data-end=\"3602\">public accountants<\/strong> or <strong data-start=\"3606\" data-end=\"3636\">public accounting entities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3639\" data-end=\"3663\">Licensing Conditions<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3664\" data-end=\"3725\">To obtain a licence, applicants must meet several conditions:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"3726\" data-end=\"3963\">\n<li data-start=\"3726\" data-end=\"3836\">\n<p data-start=\"3728\" data-end=\"3836\">Satisfy <strong data-start=\"3736\" data-end=\"3765\">\u201cfit and proper\u201d criteria<\/strong> in terms of character, financial standing, and professional integrity,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3837\" data-end=\"3913\">\n<p data-start=\"3839\" data-end=\"3913\">Demonstrate sufficient internal <strong data-start=\"3871\" data-end=\"3912\">controls and risk mitigation policies<\/strong>,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3914\" data-end=\"3963\">\n<p data-start=\"3916\" data-end=\"3963\">Appoint competent individuals to key positions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"3965\" data-end=\"4133\"><strong data-start=\"3965\" data-end=\"3977\">Moreover<\/strong>, ACRA has the authority to reject applications if applicants are unable to show adequate compliance readiness or if there are concerns about their conduct.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"4140\" data-end=\"4204\"><strong data-start=\"4143\" data-end=\"4204\">5. AML\/CFT Requirements: A Risk-Based Compliance Approach<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"4206\" data-end=\"4397\">The new regulations impose comprehensive compliance responsibilities on CSPs, aligned with international AML\/CFT best practices. <strong data-start=\"4335\" data-end=\"4350\">Accordingly<\/strong>, CSPs must implement the following safeguards:<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"4399\" data-end=\"4438\">a. <strong data-start=\"4406\" data-end=\"4438\">Customer Due Diligence (CDD)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4439\" data-end=\"4677\">CSPs must perform <strong data-start=\"4457\" data-end=\"4464\">CDD<\/strong> before onboarding a client. This involves verifying the identity of the client and its <strong data-start=\"4552\" data-end=\"4589\">ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs)<\/strong>. <strong data-start=\"4591\" data-end=\"4606\">In addition<\/strong>, the client\u2019s risk profile must be assessed and reviewed periodically.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"4679\" data-end=\"4728\">b. <strong data-start=\"4686\" data-end=\"4728\">Suspicious Transaction Reporting (STR)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4729\" data-end=\"4979\">Whenever a CSP suspects that a client or transaction may involve <strong data-start=\"4794\" data-end=\"4811\">illicit funds<\/strong>, it is required to file a <strong data-start=\"4838\" data-end=\"4877\">Suspicious Transaction Report (STR)<\/strong> with the Suspicious Transaction Reporting Office (STRO). <strong data-start=\"4935\" data-end=\"4952\">Timely action<\/strong> is critical in such cases.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"4981\" data-end=\"5006\">c. <strong data-start=\"4988\" data-end=\"5006\">Record Keeping<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"5007\" data-end=\"5176\">CSPs must maintain CDD records and transaction logs for <strong data-start=\"5063\" data-end=\"5086\">at least five years<\/strong>. <strong data-start=\"5088\" data-end=\"5103\">Furthermore<\/strong>, these records must be accessible for regulatory review at short notice.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"5178\" data-end=\"5219\">d. <strong data-start=\"5185\" data-end=\"5219\">Internal Policies and Controls<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"5220\" data-end=\"5297\">To ensure ongoing compliance, CSPs must implement internal policies covering:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"5298\" data-end=\"5405\">\n<li data-start=\"5298\" data-end=\"5327\">\n<p data-start=\"5300\" data-end=\"5327\">Risk assessment procedures,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"5328\" data-end=\"5354\">\n<p data-start=\"5330\" data-end=\"5354\">Staff training programs,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"5355\" data-end=\"5405\">\n<p data-start=\"5357\" data-end=\"5405\">Periodic compliance reviews and internal audits.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"5407\" data-end=\"5529\"><strong data-start=\"5407\" data-end=\"5423\">Larger firms<\/strong>, in particular, are encouraged to appoint a <strong data-start=\"5468\" data-end=\"5490\">compliance officer<\/strong> to monitor and enforce these controls.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"5536\" data-end=\"5587\"><strong data-start=\"5539\" data-end=\"5587\">6. ACRA\u2019s Supervisory Powers and Enforcement<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"5589\" data-end=\"5686\">Under the CSP Act, ACRA has broad powers to ensure industry compliance. <strong data-start=\"5661\" data-end=\"5677\">Specifically<\/strong>, it can:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"5687\" data-end=\"5895\">\n<li data-start=\"5687\" data-end=\"5736\">\n<p data-start=\"5689\" data-end=\"5736\">Conduct <strong data-start=\"5697\" data-end=\"5720\">on-site inspections<\/strong> \u548c <strong data-start=\"5725\" data-end=\"5735\">audits<\/strong>,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"5737\" data-end=\"5792\">\n<p data-start=\"5739\" data-end=\"5792\">Request documents and information for investigations,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"5793\" data-end=\"5848\">\n<p data-start=\"5795\" data-end=\"5848\">Issue warnings, directives, or remedial action plans,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"5849\" data-end=\"5895\">\n<p data-start=\"5851\" data-end=\"5895\">Impose <strong data-start=\"5858\" data-end=\"5881\">financial penalties<\/strong> for breaches.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"5897\" data-end=\"6090\"><strong data-start=\"5897\" data-end=\"5916\">In severe cases<\/strong>, ACRA can suspend or revoke a CSP\u2019s licence, or even refer cases for criminal prosecution, particularly when there is evidence of willful misconduct or failure to file STRs.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"6097\" data-end=\"6162\"><strong data-start=\"6100\" data-end=\"6162\">7. Transitional Arrangements: A One-Year Adjustment Window<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"6164\" data-end=\"6454\">To support a smooth transition, existing RFAs are granted <strong data-start=\"6222\" data-end=\"6250\">interim licensing status<\/strong> from <strong data-start=\"6256\" data-end=\"6287\">28 June 2024 to 9 June 2025<\/strong>. <strong data-start=\"6289\" data-end=\"6311\">During this period<\/strong>, they may continue operating as CSPs without interruption. <strong data-start=\"6371\" data-end=\"6382\">However<\/strong>, they must apply for a full CSP licence within the transitional window.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6456\" data-end=\"6557\"><strong data-start=\"6456\" data-end=\"6476\">Failing to do so<\/strong> will result in their services being legally suspended from 10 June 2025 onwards.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"6564\" data-end=\"6607\"><strong data-start=\"6567\" data-end=\"6607\">8.

Conclusion: A New Era of Accountability and Professionalism<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"7465\" data-end=\"7714\">The CSP Act represents a significant advancement in Singapore\u2019s regulatory architecture.
