Robert Wayne Pearce Is Committed to Recovering Your Investment Losses
FINRA Rule 4511 (Books and Records) generally requires firms to make and preserve records in a manner that supports accurate account administration; where a customer contends the wrong rollover form was used and the resulting IRA funds were not invested, a key issue can be whether the firm’s records substantiate what documents were provided, what was submitted, and what instructions were recorded and acted upon.
FINRA Rule 3110 (Supervision) requires member firms to establish and maintain a supervisory system reasonably designed to achieve compliance with applicable rules; in matters involving alleged paperwork errors and delayed or missed investment of rollover proceeds, supervision can be evaluated in terms of procedures, training, review, and escalation controls meant to prevent processing failures that harm customers.
