The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) announced today that it has promoted Susan Schroeder to Executive Vice President and Head of Enforcement. In addition, FINRA plans to consolidate its existing enforcement functions into a new, unified enforcement group led by Schroeder. This consolidation is a result of FINRA360, the organization’s ongoing comprehensive self-evaluation and improvement initiative.
The new unit ultimately will bring together two distinct enforcement teams within the organization – one handling disciplinary actions related to trading-based matters found through Market Regulation’s surveillance and examination programs, and the other handling cases referred from other regulatory oversight divisions including Member Regulation, Corporate Financing, the Office of Fraud Detection and Market Intelligence, and Advertising Regulation.
