Rule 204-2 sets forth the books and
records that SEC-registered investment advisers must maintain and
preserve.
US Code:
15
USC 80b Name of Law: Investment Advisers Act of 1940
PL: Pub.L. 111 - 213 410 Name of Law:
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
We estimate that the total
burden hour associated with rule 204-2 will increase from 2,199,791
hours per year to 2,329,468 hours per year. These increases are
attributable to a larger registered investment adviser population
since the most recent approval and adjustments for inflation, as
well as the proposed rule 204-2 amendments relating to the
relationship summary.
