Books And Records

If you're building or auditing recordkeeping systems for broker-dealers or investment advisers, this walks you through SEC Rules 17a-3, 17a-4, and 204-2 requirements. It covers what records you must create (order tickets, blotters, customer complaints), how long to keep them (six years for ledgers, three years for communications, life of firm for incorporation docs), and storage standards like WORM compliance for electronic archives. Useful when you're setting up email archiving, responding to exam requests, evaluating vendor migrations, or figuring out retention schedules. The retention tiers are clearly laid out, and it addresses modern headaches like social media capture and BYOD policies. Strong on the technical storage requirements and the two-year easily accessible rule.
