MILWAUKEE – Quest CE, trusted provider of compliance training and tracking technology solutions, today announced the addition of the new Firm Element course, “Off-Channel Communications” to its Firm Element e-learning catalog.

This course is designed to educate registered representatives of both broker-dealers and investment advisers about the compliance risks associated with off-channel communications. Despite the numerous regulatory actions taken against firms and their employees, and the ever-increasing level of monetary penalties assessed, unmonitored business-related off-channel communications continue to plague the industry. And regulators continue their ongoing crackdown on these practices. The course uses a situational scenario, as well as actual FINRA and SEC disciplinary actions, to illustrate behavior that may lead to regulatory violations and subsequent fines and sanctions.

Course Topics Include: 

  • What Are Off-Channel Communications?
  • Regulatory Sweeps
  • Recent Regulatory Actions
  • Firm Best Practices to Mitigate Regulatory Risk
  • Mobile Apps
