FINRA to increase amount of broker information available to public

Posted on July 14, 2010

The U.S. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) yesterday announced an expansion in the amount of information that will be available to the public regarding current and former security brokers through its online BrokerCheck service. Specifically, the changes will increase the number of customer complaints that are reported publicly by disclosing historic complaints back to 1999, expand the disclosure period for former brokers from two years to ten years, make certain information regarding former brokers permanently available and formalize the process for brokers to dispute the accuracy of the information. The expansion of BrokerCheck is expected to be complete by the end of the year.
