The Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) is introducing a new global standard for the automatic exchange of information on crypto-assets, requiring many businesses to reassess whether they fall within its scope and whether they are prepared to meet its reporting obligations.
In this 45-minute webinar, we will explain why CARF is fundamentally different from CRS, how to determine whether an organisation qualifies as a Reporting Crypto-Asset Service Provider (RCASP), and why seemingly small changes to a business model can significantly affect reporting obligations. We will also explore the gap between understanding the rules and being operationally ready to comply.
Using a focused product example and selected areas of practical uncertainty, the webinar will provide participants with a structured way to frame their initial CARF exposure and identify the questions that require further assessment. The session concludes with an introduction to our Executive Seminar, which develops a more detailed methodology for assessing CARF scope and readiness.
Presentation Objectives
By the end of this webinar, participants will:
Understand why the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) introduces a distinct reporting regime and why early preparation is critical.
Understand why RCASP status is the critical gateway to CARF and which features of an operating model drive the assessment.
Recognise how seemingly minor changes in products or operating models can significantly alter CARF obligations.
Appreciate the difference between understanding the regulation and achieving operational readiness for reporting.
Gain a structured way to frame their organisation’s initial CARF exposure and identify the next questions and steps towards readiness.
