Cevap

The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) creates the rules, while FINRA inspects member broker-dealers and enforces compliance.
The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) is a self-regulatory organization authorized by Congress to formulate rules governing municipal securities trading, underwriting, and disclosure. However, the MSRB lacks statutory authority to inspect broker-dealers or enforce its own rules. For securities firms that are non-bank broker-dealers, compliance inspections and rule enforcement are conducted by FINRA and the SEC.
