During the 2019 SIFMA C&L New York Regional Seminar, FINRA announced that they will be conducting SEC Reg BI readiness assessments to better understand companies' Reg BI implementation preparations.

“Starting this month, “ said Bates Compliance Managing Director Robert Lavigne, “FINRA will be taking steps to check on companies ahead of this rule implementation. Companies should heed their warning and begin working on a plan.”

According to FINRA conference speakers, below is a list of what the regulators are interested in learning when they visit your firm this Q4 and in 2020:

1. Does your firm need Reg BI guidance?
2. Are you looking at product offerings, suitability, disclosures and conflicts?
3. How far along are you in comparison to peer firms?
4. Can you demonstrate that your company has a thoughtful approach and operational procedures in place?
