Broker Dealer Compliance

The requirements for broker dealer compliance are various and complex. Most of time keeping up with the changing regulations is a tedious task. That explains why broker dealers often use the help of an outside compliance firm to help maintain their compliance with federal regulations.

Most broker dealer compliance is governed by the SEC (Security Exchange Commission) and the SEC's regulations. Compliance is also governed by governmental laws and standards. From anti money laundering policies and procedures to the annual compliance review or best execution, these written procedures need to be prepared by a person with a real knowledge and understanding of the changing rules and regulations. The different types of annual audits require different sets of financial reports and different sets of records to review. This is why broker dealer compliance is a permanent accounting challenge. You need a professional accounting expert that can provide you with accurate financial statements in correlation with the expectations of regulators and auditors. Additionally, you need experienced legal and compliance counsel to implement and oversee your firm’s compliance program.

That is why the best way to have your compliance needs met is for your firm to hire an outside company to complete your compliance program. Some outsourced compliance firms even have their own securities attorneys to implement broker dealer compliance services in the most secure environment. With the constantly evolving rules and policies, it is the best way to keep up with broker dealer compliance without making costly mistakes.

An outside compliance firm will bring years of compliance knowledge and experience managing compliance programs at firms just like yours. As experts in broker dealer compliance, a compliance services firm will easily have a better perspective on changing rules and regulations to perform best broker dealer compliance practices.

An incorrect annual review or a discrepancy with AML policies and procedures, can yield heavy penalties, even, in extreme cases, jail time.
