What this video covers
- The seven mandatory pillars of the supervisory system, including why office classification and on-site principal requirements sit in pillars 3 and 4
- Why a pre-recorded on-demand compliance video fails pillar 7, and what "interactive electronic means" actually requires
- The establish, maintain, and enforce triad for Written Supervisory Procedures (WSPs), and why perfect WSPs on paper still violate the rule if not enforced
- The minimum content areas that must appear in WSPs, and the critical exam trap of supervising supervisors
- Why insider-trading and manipulation review is a separate supervisory requirement, not bundled into the mandatory WSP content list
- How the reasonable-review standard scales supervision to firm size, business scope, and red-flag history, and why doing the exact same review after red flags appear violates the standard
- The amendment trigger, reasonable-time update standard, and prompt-communication distribution rule for living WSP documents
