FINRA proposes enhanced oversight of firms' back offices

Posted on May 27, 2010

The U.S. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) released a Regulatory Notice on May 26 requesting comments on proposed rule amendments intended to enhance the oversight of broker-dealers' back office operations. The proposed amendments would create a registration category for operations professionals engaged in, or supervising, activities relating to sales and trading support and the handling of customer assets. A new qualification exam for operations professionals would be established as well as continuing education requirements. Comments on FINRA's proposal are being accepted until July 12, 2010.
