Quest CE Presents: the Outside Brokerage Account Tracking Survey
Online, November 23, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Quest CE, premier provider of insurance continuing education and FINRA firm element training and tracking, is proud to announce the Outside Brokerage Account Tracking Survey. Under FINRA Rule 3210(a) and (c), FINRA Rule 2010, and associated NYSE rule 407, all associated persons working for a firm must notify their employer and receive approval before opening any and all outside securities accounts to prevent adverse interest. Let Quest CE help you ensure your FINRA compliance for reporting outside business activities through our Outside Brokerage Account Tracking Survey.
FINRA Rule 3210(a) prohibits any associated person without the prior written consent of his or her employer from opening or otherwise establishing at another member firm or at any other financial institution, any account in which securities transactions can be effected and in which such associated person has a personal financial interest. The rule further adds a new requirement that, as a condition to granting prior written consent the employer member must instruct the associated person to have the executing member provide duplicate account statements and confirmations to the employer member.
Quest CE's Transaction Tracking Surveys are performed through an online review process that allows representatives to evaluate their outside securities account activity along with that of immediate family members (spouse, child, parents, mother-in-law, father-in-law, etc.). In twelve survey questions, Quest CE's Outside Brokerage Account Tracking Survey produces automated, real time results that will help you become FINRA complaint through assessing your current compliance with rules and regulations regarding outside brokerage tracking including checking for employer approval, appropriate measures of account disclosure including account statements, and defining the type of account/s.
Quest CE is the industry leader for FINRA compliance tools. If you would like to learn more about Quest CE's Outside Brokerage Account Tracking Survey, please contact our sales department at 877-593-3366 or e-mail them at sales@questce.com.
