Market Access Compliance Can Be Challenging

Ensuring compliance with market access regulations can be daunting. Firms face various challenges in managing their market access programs effectively while meeting regulatory requirements, such as:

  • Complexity of Regulations: Market access regulations, such as SEC Rule 15c3-5, can be intricate and challenging to interpret, leading to compliance gaps and potential regulatory scrutiny.
  • Managing Risk: Market access involves inherent risks, including financial, regulatory, and operational risks. Firms must implement robust risk management controls to mitigate these risks effectively.
  • Regulatory Scrutiny: Regulatory authorities, such as FINRA, prioritize market access compliance and conduct rigorous examinations to ensure firms adhere to regulatory requirements. Non-compliance can result in enforcement actions and reputational damage.

Take A Proactive Approach to Risk Management

Stay ahead of regulatory requirements by proactively reviewing and refining your Market Access strategy. Regular reviews can save time and prevent compliance headaches as your firm prepares for certification or optimizing your existing program.

With FINRA prioritizing Market Access Rule 15c3-5 and initiating enforcement actions against non-compliant firms, having robust risk-management controls and written supervisory procedures (WSPs) in place is essential.

Our team can help you establish governance structures, set capital limits, and implement post-trade surveillance to effectively manage financial and regulatory risks associated with market access.
