Cevap

The correct statements are that the SEC is a federal government agency created by Congress with authority over SROs, and FINRA is an SRO responsible for licensing and regulating broker-dealers and associated persons.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is an independent federal government agency with ultimate authority over all U.S. securities SROs. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is an SRO responsible for licensing registered representatives and overseeing broker-dealer operations.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Distinguish government regulatory agencies from self-regulatory organizations (SROs).
The SEC is a federal agency with overarching authority, while FINRA is an SRO regulating broker-dealers under SEC oversight.
Regulatory structure differentiates government entities from membership-based regulatory organizations.
2
Evaluate the statutory enforcement limitations of municipal rulemakers.
The MSRB formulates rules for municipal market participants but does not examine firms or enforce compliance.
Enforcement of MSRB rules is delegated to FINRA, the SEC, and bank regulators.
