From July 18, 2016 to December 15, 2023, the company's regulatory systems, including written regulatory procedures, were not properly designed to ensure compliance with the reporting requirements of the Real-Time Transaction Reporting System (RTRS), as the company lacked any regulatory review or written procedures related to NTBC metrics.。
