Derek Andersen6 hours agoSEC plans scrutiny of crypto dealer-brokers, transfer agents, per 2024 exam guideThe SEC sets examination priorities based on feedback from examiners and input from investors and the industry.1050 Total views5 Total sharesListen to article 0:00NewsJoin us on social networksThe United States Securities and Exchange Commission released its 2024 examination priorities report on Oct. 16. The agency’s Division of Examinations has been publishing similar reports for over a decade to let its registrants know the emerging risks it will be focusing on. Crypto dealer-brokers, among others, have been given notice.


The SEC’s Examinations Division expanded its capacity and set up teams within its various programs to address crypto, fintech, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity in 2023, the report says. It adds that the SEC is continuing to observe broker-dealers and advisers working in crypto.


The division was looking at registrants that offer new practices, “particularly technological and online solutions that service online accounts aimed at meeting the demands of compliance and marketing,” such as “automated investment tools, artificial intelligence, and trading algorithms or platforms.”

Examinations will look at how well registrants meet standards of conduct regarding customer advice and their understanding of the products the registrants offer. The report mentions older investors and retirement assets specifically. They will also ensure that registrants are complying with the latest guidance. Here, “custody requirements under the Advisers Act” were singled out. The handling of risks associated with using blockchain and distributed ledger technology will also be assessed. 


Examinations of transfer agents servicing crypto asset securities issuers or using emerging technologies in their work are mentioned separately. Interesting to see that the SEC has identified prep for T+1 as an examination priority for brokers in 2024. The list is usually focused on things less plumbing-related, but it shows they're going to be getting the red pens out before May next year. #finreg pic.twitter.com/RsPnL6JZtq— Virginie O'Shea (@virginieoshea) October 16, 2023


The Division of Examinations has published examination updates before, but this is the first time one has appeared at the beginning of the new fiscal year. Division Director Richard Best said: “Continuing to make our examination priorities public increases transparency into the examination program and encourages firms to focus their compliance and surveillance efforts on areas of potentially heightened risk to retail investors.”


According to the SEC, examination priorities are determined based on feedback from examination staff in the previous year, as well as from investors, industry groups and similar sources.
