The SEC holds Registered Investment Advisers (RIA’s) accountable to the highest standards for the advice they provide in exchange for the right to receive compensation for that advice. The employees of a given RIA are actually called Investment Adviser Representatives (IAR’s).

Compliance Issues

Over the last several years the SEC and Finra have begun to encourage, and often expect, securities-related firms to employ internal investigations whenever possible, and to share the results of such investigations with these regulators. It has now become expected that ongoing internal investigations that are self-reported to federal regulators is just a part of the warp and woof of an RIA’s compliance program.

One of the key issues is the relationship between the RIA or IAR’s compensation for financial advice and contractual compliance. One of the strengths of Shustak Reynolds & Partners is that we are well equipped to walk you through any internal investigations your RIA needs to show good faith in compliance.
