A new report from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) provides insights and observations from examiners on emerging issues affecting the industry, including surveilling potential use of off-channel communications by employees, crypto-asset developments, cybersecurity trends, and more.
Released Tuesday, the 2024 FINRA Annual Regulatory Oversight Report, formerly known as the Report on FINRA’s Examination and Risk Monitoring Program, also provides guidance to member firms on implementing robust anti-money laundering, fraud, and sanctions screening programs and supervising issues related to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Regulation Best Interest and Form CRS regulations.
