Full transcript

The Board hears too, and hears wider.

Rule 7(2)(a) is the immediate one.

Without delay, a description of the breach:

nature, extent, timing and location.

Pause. Anything your email does not get?

The location of occurrence, for a start.

Your intimation never names that.

So the regulator's first look is wider.

Same trigger: on becoming aware.

To the Board, in the same breath.
