Match each regulatory entity or Self-Regulatory Organization (SRO) on the left with its correct primary scope of authority on the right.

  • FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority)Primary non-governmental SRO that regulates member broker-dealers, registers associated persons, and enforces trade practice rules.
  • MSRB (Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board)SRO authorized to formulate rules governing municipal securities market activities, but lacking statutory authority to inspect firms or enforce compliance.
  • SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission)Federal government agency with ultimate statutory jurisdiction over the securities industry and oversight of all SROs.
  • Federal Reserve Board (FRB)Federal entity responsible for establishing margin credit rules, including Regulation T for broker-dealers.

Cevap

FINRA pairs with regulating member broker-dealers and associated persons; MSRB pairs with writing municipal market rules without enforcement authority; SEC pairs with federal statutory oversight of securities markets; and the Federal Reserve Board pairs with setting margin regulation credit rules under Regulation T.
FINRA functions as the primary SRO for broker-dealers and registered personnel; MSRB creates municipal rules but lacks direct enforcement power; the SEC exercises federal statutory jurisdiction over the entire industry; and the FRB sets margin rules under Regulation T.
