[Originally broadcast on February 14, 2019]
Description: Join us to discuss FINRA’s 2019 Annual Risk Monitoring and Examination Priorities Letter, which was issued on January 22, 2019. While it may not be love at first sight, FINRA’s Letter serves to document FINRA’s areas of focus for the coming year. In addition, firms can use FINRA’s Letter to help identify opportunities to improve their own compliance, supervisory and risk management programs.
Among the highlights of the letter are a continued focus on conflicts of interest, including Outside Business Activities (OBA) and Personal Securities Transactions, sales practice risks related to senior protection and suitability, and anti-money laundering (AML). FINRA’s Letter also indicates a growing FINRA interest in FinTech and RegTech in the securities industry.
