Address the Branch Audit Scheduling Challenge Head-On with RegEd’s Branch Audit Cycle Management

The scheduling of OSJ, branch, and non-branch audits has become more complex over the past year. With the introduction of FINRA’s Remote Inspection Pilot Program and Residential Supervisory Locations, along with state-specific branch and non-branch registration and audit requirements, the complexity in tracking firms’ audit cycles is at an all-time high.  For example, OSJ’s must be audited annually (along with branches that supervise non-branch locations), and other branches must be audited every three years.  Supervisory offices from a person’s private residence are considered non-branch locations and can be subject to a different cycle, but certain states’ rules override these rules […]

FINRA Modifies Form U4 Adding New Residential Supervisory Location (RSL) Question and Eliminates Quarterly RSL List Reporting Requirement

FINRA recently released a modified version of Form U4, which now includes a method for broker-dealers (BDs) to indicate if their associates’ Offices of Employment that are located in private residences are designated as Residential Supervisory Locations (RSL).

In […]
