Abstract:
Rule 17Ad-6 is needed to (1) ensure that registered transfer agents maintain certain records that are necessary for the Commission to adequately monitor and assess their performance; and (2) to permit the appropriate regulatory agencies ("ARA'S") to examine those transfer agents for compliance with Commission's rules. The Commission and other ARA's use Rule 17Ad-6 records for inspection purposes. Rule 17Ad-7 is needed to ensure that registered transfer agents retain in an easily accessible place for a period of six months to one year all the records required to be made and kept current under the Commission's rules
