What this video covers

  • Why the Uniform Securities Act (USA) requires three separate parties to notify the Administrator when an agent begins or terminates an association
  • The identity of each notifying party: the agent, the former employer (broker-dealer or issuer), and the new employer (broker-dealer or issuer)
  • Why the triple notification obligation applies in both directions: when an agent begins an association and when an agent terminates an association
  • Why the word "promptly" is the only correct timing answer, and why any specific day count (10 days, 30 days, 90 days) is an exam trap
  • Why the former employer's failure to notify is a separate violation of the Act, even if the agent and new employer already notified
  • How the Administrator uses current association data for investor protection, and why missing notifications create regulatory blind spots
