Abstract:
The SBS Recordkeeping Release adopted new Exchange Act Rule 18a-6 (in conjunction with the new Exchange Act Rule 18a-5) which establishes recordkeeping requirements applicable to stand-alone SBSDs, stand-alone MSBSPs, bank SBSDs, and bank MSBSPs. Rule 18a-6 is modeled on Exchange Act Rule 17a-4, which applies to broker-dealers, but Rule 18a-6 does not include a parallel requirement for every requirement in Rule 17a-4 because some of the requirements in Rule 17a-4 relate to activities that are not expected or permitted of stand-alone SBSDs, stand-alone MSBSPs, bank SBSDs, and bank MSBSPs. Proposed Partial Revision-- In March 2023, the Commission proposed amendments to the recordkeeping requirements of SBS Entities in Rule 18a-6 in connection with a proposed cybersecurity risk management rule (“Rule 10”). Rule 18a-6 would be amended to establish preservation and maintenance requirements for the written policy and procedures, annual reports, Parts I and II of proposed Form SCIR, and records required to be made pursuant to proposed Rule 10.
