FINRA Introduces “Batch Submission” for Advertising Regulation Electronic Files (AREF)

Effective October 29, 2007

FINRA announces the availability of “Batch Submission”. Firms that file a very large volume of communications (typically around 500 per year or more) may wish to consider using the new Batch Submission process.

Effective October 29, 2007, firms will be required to provide further regulatory data about each AREF submission. This new data will help the Department prioritize firm submissions. Also on October 29, 2007, AREF will be enhanced to enable firms to provide additional information like rankings back up data and cover letters at the time they initially upload communications for review.
