The CCOutreach Broker-Dealer Program

The CCOutreach BD program for broker-dealer chief compliance officers (CCOs) (or their senior compliance staff, where CCOs cannot attend) is designed to promote strong compliance practices for the protection of investors. The program is sponsored jointly by the SEC's Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations, in coordination with the Division of Trading and Markets, and FINRA.

 

The 2009 CCOutreach BD program features a National Seminar in Washington, DC on March 10, 2009 and five Regional Seminars throughout the country from April through June. The SEC and FINRA will announce dates and locations for the Regional Seminars at the National Seminar in March.

Regional Seminars
The SEC and FINRA will also host five CCOutreach BD Regional Seminars throughout the country in 2009. The seminars address more of the "nuts and bolts" of compliance processes and include question and answer sessions so that CCOs or their senior compliance staff can interact with staff from their local SEC and FINRA offices.

Registration for the 2009 CCOutreach BD Regional Seminars will open on March 10, 2009.
