Don't Get Fined – Stay Away from Unstructured File Sharing Tools! The SEC and FINRA continue to levy steep fines on wealth management firms for failing to comply with book-keeping and records retention rules, such as storing records in a Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) format – including meta-data – as well as other compliance requirements. Advisors are asked to maintain particularly high standards of liability with respect to precise record management, so in a time when the proliferation of hybrid workplaces and usage of non-compliant platforms for client communication have become more common, the need for advanced document management technology is critical. The bad news is that many advisory firms are taking shortcuts and using non-compliant file sharing tools that open them up to regulatory exposure, fines and cyber-security breaches, and reputational risk.
