The SEC staff makes an opening statement and describes the general process to the witness. The witness is informed that he has the right to be represented by an attorney of his choice, that he may refuse to give testimony based upon his right against self-incrimination, and that any testimony given can be used in other proceedings.ÿ

The witness will also be told that he cannot "go off the record" and that only the staff can direct the reporter to stop recording the session. This is a true statement, but witnesses should be advised of one salient fact - whether the reporter records the statement or not, the staff can use anything that is said. In other words, a witness is never "off the record."ÿ

An examination typically begins with a series of general questions. Depending on the responses, these may take more than an hour to complete. General questions include: the witness' name; date of birth; home and office addresses and telephone numbers; all telephone calling card numbers; social security number; names of all immediate family members; full employment history, including job descriptions and dates of employment; complete educational background and identification of any securities- or business-related courses taken; all licenses held and when obtained; any disciplinary proceedings in which the witness was named; every occasion in which the witness has testified under oath; details of all lawsuits and arbitrations in which the witness was a party; involvement with any public companies; and the location of all brokerage accounts and bank accounts controlled by the witness.
