SIFMA today released a statement from Kenneth E. Bentsen, Jr., SIFMA president and CEO, in response to an announcement by FINRA that it plans to consolidate its Examination and Risk Monitoring Programs:
“We commend FINRA’s decision to consolidate its Examination and Monitoring programs as part of the ongoing self-evaluation initiative, FINRA360. We are optimistic that, once fully implemented, this change will reduce inefficiencies and allow FINRA to more effectively deploy its resources and enhance the quality of its examinations.”
