Difficulty: EasyAccount Statements, Privacy Protection, and Regulation S-P

Match each Regulation S-P customer classification or account delivery requirement on the left with its correct regulatory definition or required frequency on the right.

  • ConsumerIndividual who obtains a financial service once; requires an initial privacy notice only if nonpublic personal information is shared with nonaffiliated third parties
  • CustomerIndividual with a continuing relationship with a firm; requires initial and annual privacy notices regardless of information sharing
  • Active Account Statement DeliveryRequired monthly for any calendar period in which trading or transaction activity occurs in the account
  • Inactive Account Statement DeliveryRequired at least quarterly when no transaction activity occurs in the account

Answer

Consumer matches with one-time service individual requiring privacy notices only if information is shared; Customer matches with continuing relationship individual requiring initial and annual privacy notices; Active Account Statement Delivery matches with monthly statement frequency; Inactive Account Statement Delivery matches with quarterly statement frequency.
Each classification and delivery timeline directly reflects SEC Regulation S-P and FINRA rules governing privacy protection and customer statement schedules.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Differentiate between consumer and customer under Regulation S-P
A consumer has a one-time transaction relationship requiring initial privacy disclosures only when information is shared with nonaffiliated third parties, whereas a customer has an ongoing account relationship requiring initial and annual privacy disclosures.
Regulation S-P distinguishes legal obligations based on whether a continuing relationship exists.
2
Identify account statement delivery timelines under FINRA rules
Accounts with trading activity require monthly statements, while idle/inactive accounts require quarterly statements.
FINRA rules protect investors by providing regular updates based on transaction frequency.

Key Concept
