Rule 17a-3 requires certain records to be made by certain exchange members and registered brokers and dealers. The rule serves to standardize prudent business practices. Among other things, these records are essential for regulatory purposes including examinations, investigations, and enforcement proceedings, which are significant customer protection safeguards. The proposed amendments to Rule 17a-3 (in conjunction with the proposed amendments to Rule 17a-4) would establish additional recordkeeping requirements applicable to broker-dealers, including those that are dually registered as an SBSD or MSBSP, to the extent they engage in security-based swap or swap activities.
