Following the death of an ACO QM, what happens to the license after 120 days?

• A. It remains valid
• B. It is automatically cancelled
• C. It is suspended
• D. It is renewed

Answer: (B)

When a Qualified Manager for an alarm company dies, there’s a 120-day window to appoint and have a replacement QM approved. If no new QM is approved by BSIS within those 120 days, the company’s license is automatically cancelled. This rule ensures there’s always a responsible, properly credentialed person overseeing operations for safety and compliance. Once cancellation occurs, the company cannot legally operate until a new QM is appointed and the license is reestablished (either by BSIS reissuing the license or the company obtaining a new license with a designated QM).
