For Dual-Registrant Firms

Unified Compliance for Dual-Registrant Firms

Stop managing SEC and FINRA compliance in separate silos. Compliance Approved brings both regulatory frameworks into a single, intelligent platform.

The Dual-Registrant Compliance Challenge

Operating under both SEC and FINRA creates unique compliance complexities that generic tools can't handle.

Overlapping Regulatory Requirements

SEC and FINRA rules often cover similar ground but with different standards. Tracking which rule applies to which activity creates confusion and compliance gaps.

Duplicative Record-Keeping

Maintaining separate documentation for SEC and FINRA examinations leads to redundant work, inconsistent records, and wasted compliance hours.

Conflicting Review Standards

The SEC Marketing Rule and FINRA Rule 2210 have different requirements for advertising review. Applying the wrong standard to the wrong communication creates regulatory risk.

Unified Supervisory Procedures

Writing supervisory procedures that satisfy both regulators without creating contradictions requires deep expertise in both frameworks.

One Platform, Both Regulators

Compliance Approved was architected from day one to support dual-registrant firms.

Intelligent Rule Mapping

Compliance Approved automatically determines which regulations apply based on the type of communication, audience, and business activity — eliminating guesswork.

Unified Audit Trail

Every action, review, and approval is logged in a single audit trail that can be filtered and exported for either SEC or FINRA examinations.
