March 30, 2012 - PRLog -- Quest CE is offering their Social Media Representative Survey free of charge for firms and their registered representatives. Social media compliance is fresh on the mind of regulators and auditors alike, and accurately gauging the social media activity of a firm’s registered representatives is the first step towards creating a social media compliance program and/or policy to protect a firm and its representatives.

FINRA’s 2012 watch list specifically targeted social media and electronic communications. Firms must recognize that all representative communication on social media and blog sites are under FINRA supervisory responsibility, and if firms do not know where and how their representatives are connecting with the public on those sites, firms and their representatives will be the ones receiving the penalties.

To aid with the multiple questions that FINRA has been receiving regarding these new regulations, FINRA issued Regulatory Notice 11-39, building on social media guidance which was provided in Regulatory Notice 10-06, along with reiterating basic regulations for communications with the public “irrespective of the medium or device used to communicate.”

Quest CE’s Social Media Representative Survey offers firms the necessary information to effectively gauge their need for a social media policy. Past surveys yielded results that required immediate firm attention, including the need enact a comprehensive social media policy, as well as the creation of a complete social media compliance program.

Quest CE’s online survey asks representatives to provide details about their social media and blog sites, and if they use those sites for business or personal purposes.  After completing the survey, representatives must attest that the information they have provided is both current and correct, providing firms with tangible proof they are fulfilling supervisory responsibility, and placing personal responsibility on the representative.

The first of its kind, Quest CE’s Social Media Representative Survey can be utilized on its own, or as part of Quest CE’s social media compliance solution, Codex.
