The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s Central Registration Depository — the “backbone” of BrokerCheck — as of Monday offers a new feature that streamlines how broker-dealers view information on reps — including their disclosure and work history information, which licenses they hold as well as CE requirements they’ve completed.
FINRA announced last June the multi-pronged plan to overhaul its registration and disclosure programs, including its CRD, with a new WebCRD interface.
The new WebCRD functionality allows queries on reps’ information to be viewed in a single-page format, instead of displayed across multiple pages.
Later this year FINRA will update accessibility to information on the firm and branch sections of the WebCRD.
