2. BACKGROUND
SECP was setup in pursuance of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan Act, 1997 and became
operational in January, 1999. It has investigative and enforcement powers to regulate, administer and
enforce laws pertaining to corporate sector, capital markets, non-banking financial sector and insurance
sector with an aim to facilitate capital formation, protect rights of investors, develop an efficient and
dynamic regulatory framework and maintain fair, orderly and efficient markets. The core business
functions include promoting corporatization, market development, investor awareness and education,
registration & licensing, supervision (prudential & regulatory) and enforcement (civil & criminal).
Over the years, in order to facilitate interaction with its regulatees, SECP has automated a number of
business processes through a platform called eServices. SECP management has envisioned a digital
transformation program to position SECP as a role-model regulator through end-to-end automation and
digitization to deliver a world-class experience to its stakeholders. The project would enhance the internal
capability of SECP to perform company registration, filing and compliance, licensing and regulatory
approvals functions swiftly and efficiently; encourage regulatory compliance, promote transparency and
1
fairness, and continue to position SECP’s reputation as a credible corporate regulator. During and after the
completion of the program it is envisioned that the regulates will be involved in decision-making, policy
setting, problem solving and the co-design of services.
Currently, the end-users and internal officers are exposed to outdated user experience; through this
project, end to end automated process execution will be achieved to meet the needs of internal and
external stakeholders.
