Subject to paragraph (8), where the Authority amends any internal controls requirement, a licensee shall, within 30 days after the date it is notified of the amendment, or such longer period as the Authority may allow in any particular case, submit to the Authority for approval such proposed changes to its approved internal controls as may be necessary to satisfy the internal controls requirements so amended by the Authority and applicable to the licensee. (1A) A submission to the Authority for approval of a proposed change to the approved internal controls required under paragraph (1) must comprise all of the following:

a description of the proposed change to the approved internal controls in the form required by the Internal Controls Code for Casino Operators or the Internal Controls Code for International Market Agents, as the case may be;

a statement by the Board of Directors of the licensee that the proposed change to the approved internal controls satisfies the internal controls requirements amended by the Authority and applicable to the licensee;

a statement by an independent officer of the licensee that —

the proposed change to the approved internal controls satisfies the internal controls requirements amended by the Authority and applicable to the licensee; and

the licensee has adequate systems and processes in place to implement the proposed change;

such other documents or information as the Authority may require in that particular case to determine whether the proposed change to the approved internal controls satisfies the internal controls requirements amended by the Authority and applicable to the licensee.

approve all or part of the changes to the approved internal controls proposed by the licensee subject to such conditions as the Authority may impose; or (b)reject all or part of the changes to the approved internal controls proposed by the licensee if the proposed changes thereto do not satisfy the internal controls requirements amended by the Authority and applicable to the licensee.

The approved internal controls of a licensee shall be amended or substituted to the extent that a submission under this regulation (including any accompanying document and revised internal controls) is approved by the Authority. (5) A licensee shall ensure that the proposed changes to its approved internal controls are implemented in accordance with the approval by the Authority under this regulation, and any conditions imposed thereon.
