Financial PlanningApril 01, 2019
Sen. Elizabeth Warren is asking some pointed questions about FINRA's evolving protocols for deleting customer dispute information from brokers' records, amplifying a theme of business accountability that is a central element of her presidential campaign.
In a letter to FINRA CEO Robert Cook, Warren highlights the connection between expungements and repeated broker misconduct, citing a recent studythat found that more than two-thirds of expungement requests are approved and identified a correlation between expungement requests and recidivism.
Duane Thompson, AIFA®, senior policy analyst for Fi360, weighs in.
