SEC Proposing New Rule For Investment/financial Firms To Enhance Their Business Resilient Programs

For Immediate Release
August 30, 2016

The Securities and Exchange Commission recently proposed a new rule that would require investment firms to adopt and put forth written continuity and transition plans.  This rule is designed to confirm that investment advisers have plans in place to report operational risks associated with substantial disruption in the firms operations. By cooperating with this rule, client and investor damage will be significantly reduced.

Proactive planning and preparation can help alleviate the effects of disruptions or reduce their rate of occurrence.  While these disruptions can never be predicted, if all measures are taken ahead of time that can only lessen the reactive mode that companies are hurled into.
