FINOP Services

FINRA members are required to compose and submit Financial and Operational Combined Uniform (FOCUS) reports to FINRA as required under the SEC Exchange Act Rule 17a-5. This rule was adopted in response to certain failures by broker/dealers holding customer funds and securities between 1968 and 1971.

The goal of this reporting is to enable customers to evaluate whether a broker or dealer is financially sound. Given the current state of the global economy, the functions of a FINOP are critical and likely to receive increased regulatory scrutiny.
