Yesterday, the SEC announced that, in cooperation with FINRA, they are launching an educational forum geared towards BD compliance officers. According to the release, "the CCOutreach BD
program will help broker-dealer chief compliance officers (CCOs) ensure
effective communication about compliance risks, maintain effective
compliance controls, and foster strong compliance programs within their
firms." The national seminar is currently scheduled for March 2008 in DC; registration details will be forthcoming.
Importantly, the organizers are seeking input from CCOs as to topics to be addressed. See here to see the possible topics, and ways to communicate your preferences.
