WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) on Monday said it had granted regulatory relief to broker dealers as the industry triggers coronavirus contingency plans.
The agency said in a statement that home-trading supervisory arrangements should be “reasonably designed,” adding that it would allow brokers to delay scheduled onsite inspections of their branch offices during any trading disruptions.
