Other Recordkeeping Requirements
Chapters in this video
What this video covers
- Why customer account information retention uses a dual trigger, 6 years after each update plus 6 years after account closure, and why purging from the open date is non-compliant
- When discretionary authority requires a dated manual signature rather than an electronic checkbox, and why "manual" is the only safe answer on the exam
- What essential facts and written principal approval are required before an account name or designation change on an order ticket is valid
- Why pre-authorized negotiable instrument records must be kept 3 years after the authorization expires, not from the date it was granted
- How written customer complaint files must be maintained in a separate file at the Office of Supervisory Jurisdiction (OSJ) for 4 years
- How the 6-4-3 memory framework maps customer account information to 6 years, complaints to 4 years, and negotiable instrument authorizations to 3 years
- Which records override the default 6-year FINRA retention period and which use alternative triggers entirely
