That means brokerage firms now have to comply with a new standard of conduct when working with retail clients.On this episode we talk to Meredith Cordisco and Jim Wrona of FINRA’s Office of General Counsel about what a post implementation date world looks like for FINRA member firms and what FINRA has been doing to train staff to ensure a consistent approach to examining around and enforcing the new rule across the organization.And listen to the end for a special surprise from Jim. Resources mentioned in this episode:SEC Reg BI Resource PageFINRA Reg BI Resource PageVirtual Conference Panel: Reg BI and Form CRS: Where Are We NowVirtual Conference Panel: Reg BI: Compliance Inspections and ExaminationsEmail questions: IABDquestions@sec.gov
