Update  
The Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) has made some changes to the deadlines that Cayman domiciled funds need to comply with to ensure they do not breach their obligations under the Cayman AML Regulations. A summary of the revised deadlines are as follows:
Funds that are Registered with CIMA:
•    Must appoint AMLCO, MLRO and Deputy MLRO by September 30, 2018 (i.e. there has been NO change to this deadline); and
•    Must notify CIMA of the appointments through the REEFS portal by December 31, 2018.

Funds that are not Registered with CIMA:
•    Must appoint AMLCO, MLRO and Deputy MLRO by December 31, 2018; and
•    Must notify CIMA of the appointments through the REEFS portal by December 31, 2018.
