SIPC and FINRA Streamline Reporting Process for Broker-Dealers

August 1, 2017

FINRA and SIPC (The Securities Investor Protection Corporation ) announced a services agreement designed to ease reporting burdens and compliance costs for FINRA member firms. The new, simplified filing process will also reduce inconsistent or incomplete filing of annual audited financial statements and supplementary reports. 

 

Effective Sept. 1, firms that currently file annual reports separately with SIPC and FINRA will file just once, using FINRA’s existing reporting portal. The portal will provide both agencies with the information, enabling the firms to meet the 2 agencies’ respective reporting requirements with a single filing. 

 

The agreement complements similar work that FINRA has done with its client exchanges to reduce duplicative reporting by common member firms.
