Finra Exam Series-6 Topic 5 Question 94 Discussion

Upon receiving a complaint about one of its member firms, FINRA may require any person associated with the member firm to provide information and to testify under oath; it may inspect and copy the books, records, and accounts of the member firm; and it may share information obtained from its investigation of a member firm with a foreign regulatory agency. The foreign regulator must agree to treat the information confidentiality, and the agreement with the foreign regulator is predicated on two requirements: ''(A) the other regulator party to the agreement must have jurisdiction over common regulatory matters; and (B) the agreement must require the other regulator to reciprocate and share with FINRA information of regulatory interest or concern to FINRA.''
