| broker dealer financial services: Investor and Industry Perspectives on Investment Advisers and Broker-dealers Angela A. Hung, 2008 In theory, financial professionals are relatively distinct: A broker conducts transactions in securities on behalf of others; a dealer buys and sells securities for his or her own accounts; and an investment adviser provides advice to others regarding securities. Broker-dealers and investment advisers are subject to different regulatory structures. But trends in the financial services market since the early 1990s have blurred the boundaries between them. Regulatory reform requires a clearer understanding of the industry's complexities. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission asked RAND to conduct this study to examine the professionals' current business practices and whether investors understand differences between and relationships among them. The report describes a heterogeneous industry, with firms taking many different forms and offering a multitude of services and products and with investors failing to distinguish broker-dealers and investment advisers along regulatory lines. Despite this, investors express high levels of satisfaction with the services they receive from their own financial service providers. This satisfaction was much more frequently reported to arise from the personal attention the investor receives than from the actual financial returns arising from this relationship. |

The Complete Audit Workbook ensures that audit professionals and BSA officers have the right tool to conduct the PATRIOT Act (Section 352) required independent review. The Workbook breaks down BSA/AML regulatory requirements into component parts that enable an auditor to judge whether all the i's and t's of a BSA compliance program are dotted and crossed. Guidance for each major category of questions (over 50 in all!) is included. Audit traps, --items seen only in confidential exit interviews-- are also included. The audience for this book is both BSA auditors and compliance officers. The latter can utilize the Workbook to design a comprehensive, sustainable AML program. The former can use this Workbook to check their firm's BSA program status and carry out their duty to keep senior management informed. |
