Cevap
The correct pairings align FINRA with primary SRO enforcement and firm examinations, MSRB with municipal rulemaking without direct enforcement power, SEC with federal oversight over SROs, and FINRA Rule 8210 with the authority to compel records and testimony.
FINRA is the non-governmental self-regulatory organization responsible for examining broker-dealers and enforcing member compliance. The MSRB writes rules for municipal securities transactions but lacks statutory authority to enforce its own rules, delegating enforcement to FINRA and banking regulators. The SEC is the federal government regulator holding ultimate oversight authority over all SROs. FINRA Rule 8210 provides FINRA with the authority to require member firms and associated persons to supply information, books, records, and oral testimony during investigations.
