Text of SEC Final Rule: Broker-Dealer Annual Reporting, Audit and Notification Requirements (PDF)
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission [SEC] [Official Guidance] July 31, 2013 316 pages. The publication date in the Federal Register has not yet been set. Excerpt: "The amendments include a requirement that broker-dealer audits be conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) in light of explicit oversight authority provided to the PCAOB by the [Dodd-Frank Act] to oversee these audits. The amendments further require a broker-dealer that clears transactions or carries customer accounts to agree to allow representatives of the Commission or the broker-dealer's designated examining authority (DEA) to review the documentation associated with certain reports of the broker-dealer's independent public accountant and to allow the accountant to discuss the findings relating to the reports of the accountant with those representatives when requested in connection with a regulatory examination of the broker-dealer. Finally, the amendments require a broker-dealer to file a new form with its DEA that elicits information about the broker-dealer's practices with respect to the custody of securities and funds of customers and non-customers." |
