Zorluk: OrtaSelf-Regulatory Organizations (SROs) and FINRA

An associated person of a FINRA member broker-dealer violates a rule established by the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) while underwriting a municipal bond offering. Which entity has the authority to investigate the broker-dealer and enforce sanctions for this rule violation?

  1. FINRA, because the MSRB formulates rules for municipal securities transactions but lacks independent examination and enforcement authority.Cevap
  2. B
    The MSRB directly, because it holds exclusive statutory jurisdiction to conduct examinations and levy fines for municipal securities infractions.
  3. C
    The Federal Reserve Board exclusively, because municipal securities fall strictly under banking regulators rather than securities self-regulatory organizations.
  4. D
    State commercial banking commissions, because self-regulatory organizations have no jurisdiction over municipal bond underwritings.

Cevap

FINRA has the authority to examine broker-dealers and enforce compliance with MSRB rules, as the MSRB lacks independent enforcement authority.
The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) relies on FINRA and the SEC to examine broker-dealers and enforce its rules because the MSRB itself lacks enforcement authority.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the regulatory mandate of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB).
The MSRB creates rules regarding municipal securities trading, underwriting, and advice.
Establishing rulemaking authority clarifies what functions the MSRB performs.
2
Determine which entity enforces MSRB rules for registered broker-dealers.
FINRA (along with the SEC) conducts examinations and enforces MSRB rules for member broker-dealers, while bank regulators enforce them for bank dealers.
The MSRB has no statutory authority to inspect firms or enforce its own rules.
