SEC Adopts Amendments to Strengthen Customer Protection Rules The SEC has approved key updates to Rule 15c3-3, also known as the Customer Protection Rule, aimed at enhancing the safeguarding of customer assets and boosting market trust. What’s Changing? Daily Calculations: Broker-dealers with $500M+ in credits must now compute net cash owed to customers and PAB account holders daily instead of weekly. Reduced Buffer: Broker-dealers performing daily reserve computations can lower their reserve “buffer” from 3% to 2%, helping streamline operations. Why It Matters: These changes help broker-dealers better align cash reserves with customer needs, reducing risk in the event of financial distress. Timeline: Effective 60 days after publication in the Federal Register. Full compliance required by Dec. 31, 2025, for qualifying broker-dealers.

SEC Approves 2025 PCAOB Budget and Accounting Support Fee The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) voted today to approve the 2025 budget for the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and its related annual accounting support fee. The PCAOB’s 2025 budget totals $399.7 million, with an accounting support fee of $374.9 million. Of this fee, $346.1 million will be assessed on public company issuers, while $28.8 million will be levied on registered broker-dealers. A Foundation of Trust SEC Chair Gary Gensler emphasized the importance of trust in financial markets, noting the critical role of accurate financial disclosures: “Well-functioning financial markets are built on trust. Critical to such trust are disclosures – including financial statement disclosures made by issuers and broker-dealers to the investing public. I have seen since the passage of Sarbanes-Oxley 22 years ago the importance of that law in promoting trust in public company figures. This trust, though, can easily be taken for granted. The PCAOB – an important reform of the George W. Bush Administration – writes the standards for auditors and audits the auditors. That’s the core of what it does, and it’s every bit as important now and into the future.” SEC Chief Accountant Paul Munter expressed confidence in the PCAOB’s stewardship, stating: “I am confident in the Board’s ability to continue to act as a diligent and responsible steward of publicly sourced accounting support fees, as evidenced by their accomplishments this past year.” PCAOB Oversight and Sarbanes-Oxley Established under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the PCAOB is tasked with overseeing the audits of public companies and broker-dealers to protect investors and further the public interest in the preparation of informative, accurate, and independent audit reports. The SEC’s oversight responsibilities under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act include the annual review and approval of the PCAOB’s budget and accounting support fee, ensuring accountability and alignment with its mission to uphold the integrity of financial reporting. The approval of the 2025 budget affirms the PCAOB’s continued role in safeguarding the transparency and trustworthiness of financial markets.

SEC Adopts Amendments for Electronic Filing and Submission of Financial Forms The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) today adopted amendments to require the electronic filing, submission, or posting of certain forms, filings, and other submissions made by national securities exchanges, national securities associations, clearing agencies, broker-dealers, security-based swap dealers, and major security-based swap participants. “Today’s amendments build on more than 20 years of Commission actions to modernize filing and recordkeeping requirements,” said SEC Chair Gary Gensler. “I’m pleased that the Commission has taken the next step towards updating our requirements for the digital age.” Previously, many registrants were required to file or submit Exchange Act forms and other materials to the SEC in paper form. Under the new amendments, registrants will now electronically submit these filings using the SEC’s EDGAR system, in structured data format where appropriate, or by posting them online. Additionally, the SEC is adopting changes to the Financial and Operational Combined Uniform Single (FOCUS) Report to harmonize with other rules and forms, and to provide technical corrections and clarifications. The adopting release has been published on SEC.gov and will also be published in the Federal Register. The amendments will take effect 60 days after publication in the Federal Register. The compliance dates for these amendments vary depending on the applicable form or rule, with deadlines ranging from 60 days to on or after June 30, 2028.

SEC Approves Cost-Saving Amendments to Consolidated Audit Trail Plan The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) today approved amendments to the 2016 National Market System Plan for the Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT), a critical tool for market surveillance and enforcement. The approved changes are projected to save $21 million annually while maintaining CAT’s core functionality. The amendments focus on two key areas: Equity Options Quotes: Revised requirements for linking market maker quotes. Data Management: Adjustments to storage and retention requirements. Supporting Market Integrity SEC Chair Gary Gensler emphasized the importance of CAT in ensuring fair and orderly markets, stating, “The CAT is essential for identifying and addressing market misconduct, including front running, market manipulation, and insider trading.” The Commission acknowledged additional cost-saving suggestions from commenters, which were not addressed in this order but remain under consideration for future evaluation. Continuous Improvement Highlighting the evolving nature of markets and technology, the SEC noted the importance of regularly assessing CAT requirements to ensure the system remains cost-effective without compromising its regulatory purpose. This amendment reflects the SEC’s commitment to balancing efficiency with its mission to uphold market integrity and investor protection. https://lnkd.in/gqMvvQ32 #SEC #AuditTrail #ConsolidatedAuditTrail #CostSavings #FinancialRegulation #Compliance #SECUpdates #MarketTransparency #FinanceNews
