  2. B
    Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) Enforcement Division

  4. D

Cevap

Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is empowered to examine non-bank broker-dealers and enforce rules established by the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB).
While the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) formulates rules governing municipal securities trading, underwriting, and disclosure, it lacks statutory examination and enforcement authority. For non-bank broker-dealers, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA)—along with the SEC—is empowered to conduct examinations and enforce compliance with MSRB rules.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the role and statutory limitations of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB).
The MSRB creates rules governing municipal market participants but lacks legislative authority to examine firms or enforce its own regulations.
Congress established the MSRB purely as an SRO rulemaking body for the municipal securities industry.
2
Determine the entity responsible for examining and enforcing MSRB rules on non-bank securities firms.
Enforcement of MSRB rules for non-bank broker-dealers is delegated to FINRA (along with oversight by the SEC).
FINRA is the self-regulatory organization with direct examination and disciplinary jurisdiction over registered broker-dealers and their associated persons.
