ASIC has released the form for the annual compliance certificate for unlicensed carried over instrument (COI) lenders (Form COI4). All unlicensed COI lenders must lodge the certificate in hard copy with ASIC no later than 15 August each year. There is no fee for lodgement, but a late fee applies.

Although the form for licensed credit providers will be different, the COI certificate gives a good indication of the matters to be covered in the licensee’s certificate.
