RegistrationQuestion 33 of 100
A registered broker-dealer discovers that information in its original state application has become materially inaccurate. The firm should:
a.Wait and correct the information at the next annual renewal
b.Correct the information only if a customer or the Administrator asks about it
c.Promptly file an amendment with the Administrator correcting the information
d.Withdraw its registration and file a new application
Explanation
Registrants must keep their filings current and promptly amend any information that becomes inaccurate or incomplete in a material respect. Waiting for renewal or for someone to ask leaves a false filing on record, which is itself a ground for discipline. Withdrawing and refiling is a drastic step the act does not require for a simple amendment.
