LeapRate has learned that Cyprus based regulatory consulting firm MAP S.Platis has successfully concluded an agreement with regulator Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), for the provision of expert services in the conduct of investigations of potential violations of the pertinent legislation by Cypriot Investment Firms (CIFs).
CySEC issued a public tender to outsource some of its activities back in June. At the time, CySEC estimated the value of the overall contract at €600,000.
MAP S.Platis has been for more than a decade one of the premier firms consulting to Retail FX brokers (and other entities) looking to establish operations in Cyprus and receive a CySEC license.
