FINRA publishes information about securities traded via a FINRA equity trade reporting facility as opposed to on a centralized exchange, also referred to as over-the-counter (OTC) equities,  on a delayed basis for each alternative trading system (ATS) and member firm with a trade reporting obligation under FINRA rules. Security-specific information for firms with “de minimis” volume outside of an ATS is aggregated and published on a non-attributed basis. The trading information is derived directly from OTC trades that ATS member firms report to FINRA.

Published each year, this Report on FINRA’s Risk Monitoring and Examination Activities (the Report) is designed to inform member firms’ compliance programs by providing annual insights from FINRA’s ongoing regulatory operations.

A collection of reports and report cards created for firms to monitor their risk. Includes display summaries and statistics related to various risk factors, including canceled trades, customer complaints, customer debits, and registered representative composition.
