FOCUSTM
The FOCUS system provides firms with the capability to electronically submit their Financial and Operational Combined Uniform Single (FOCUS) Reports to FINRA. FINRA member firms are required to compose and submit FOCUS reports to FINRA pursuant to SEC Rule 17a-5.
During 2009 and into 2010, FINRA will introduce eFOCUSTM—an upgraded technology platform for submitting FOCUS filings. Firms will be notified of the timing for their transition to this system approximately eight weeks before their first FOCUS filing is due to be filed in eFOCUS.
For guidance on submitting filings through eFOCUS, view our online tutorials.
Please view the 2009 Filing Due Dates for other important information regarding FOCUS Filing submissions and corresponding due dates.
If you have questions about your filing, contact your Coordinator. For questions about the eFOCUS system, contact the Help Desk at (800) 321-6273.
