SECURITIES INDUSTRY ESSENTIALS (SIE) EXAM ASKS QUESTIONS REGARDING PRIVACY REQUIREMENTS FOR CUSTOMERS' FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The SIE Exam tests candidates on privacy rules that registered reps must observe for maintaining the confidentiality of financial information and financial status of customers. How do we know this? FINRA publishes a Content Outline for the SIE exam, and Section 3.2.4 of the Content Outline lists the privacy requirements and Regulation S-P as important for the exam.
Bob Eder in his SIE guide, Study for the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) Exam, discusses privacy requirements in detail. Here is a sample of Bob Eder's discussion:
Regulation S-P
The SEC has adopted Regulation
S-P to assure that broker/dealers and investment advisory firms, as well as
other firms that collect sensitive financial information of customers, comply
with the law on safeguarding the privacy of personal non-public financial
information. The notice must be easy to understand, conspicuous, not
camouflaged in small type or font. It must be sent to all persons with whom a
financial firm initiates or maintains a customer relationship.
Here is the link to FINRA's Content Outline for the SIE Exam. See the references to Maintaining Confidentiality of Customers' Financial Information in FINRA's Content Outline, Section 3.2.4.
