On June 30, 2026, FINRA released a report detailing recommendations for its Enforcement Program, following an external review conducted by
Professor Paul R. Eckert and former SEC Commissioner Troy A. Paredes. The report outlines opportunities for FINRA to refine its
self-regulatory mission through enhanced transparency, fairness, and consistency, with direct implications for how broker-dealers
and their advisors engage with the enforcement process. Key proposals include the publication of a public Enforcement Manual,
improvements to the Wells process, and more structured Rule 8210 information request procedures. Additionally, the recommendations
suggest adopting formal limitations periods for enforcement matters and increasing senior leadership involvement in decision-making
to ensure outcomes align with broader regulatory principles.
