The AMF publishes a summary of its SPOT inspections on telephone conversation recording at asset management companies

Why this matters

This is a published summary of thematic inspections conducted by the AMF on telephone conversation recording practices at five asset management companies. The content identifies compliance expectations, good practices (e.g., five-year retention, staff training, quarterly sampling), and poor practices (e.g., lack of unified policy, inadequate controls). While not a new rule or enforcement action, it serves as regulatory guidance on operational and conduct expectations. The urgency is null because this is informational/guidance content rather than a consultation or binding obligation with a deadline. Significance is 3 because it provides noteworthy regulatory signals and concrete expectations that asset managers should consider, but does not establish new binding obligations or represent a major enforcement precedent.
