Sound Practices for Preventing and Detecting Unauthorized Proprietary Trading
Executive Summary
In the wake of several recent cases involving allegations of unauthorized or "rogue" trading resulting in substantial losses by firms both in the United States and abroad, many FINRA firms are undertaking comprehensive reviews of their internal controls and risk management systems designed to prevent such trading activity. FINRA is issuing this Notice to highlight sound practices for firms to consider as they undergo that process.

Therefore, internal control systems should be designed to address regulatory as well as business and reputational risk.
