FOREX AUDITSWith the rapid, ever changing rules regarding the regulation of Forex firms, it is important that you contact us about completing an audit of your FX operation. Now that there is full regulatory oversight by the NFA, your Introducing Broker is at great risk of fines up to $30,000 for missing items that you may not even be aware of. The internal forex audit is conducted in the same manner as our futures firm audits. Our goal in your office is work with you and to educate you on the requirements that a registered forex Introducing Brokers has to follow. This internal audit on your part will ensure that if and when the NFA come to audit your office, you will be fully prepared for their review. This NFA style audit has been conducted by Investment Reference in thousands of firms over the past many years. Several of the nations largest Futures Commission Merchants have us conduct these audits to insure that their Introducing Brokers, as well as their Branch Offices are prepared in the event they are audited by the NFA. The FCMs also have the audits conducted by us as a money saving decision. In most cases we can audit offices more inexpensively, and since we are an "outside" source, more objectively than their "in-house" staff. Introducing Brokers, Branch Offices, Forex firms, and even CTAs and CPOs should consider an audit. We get "brutally" honest and will inform you of any and all existing or possible infractions of NFA or CFTC rules and regulations. This allows you to be prepared to stand up to the most rigorous regulatory audit. We are ready to discuss in detail all the steps we take in our audit, and explain why we know our audits can stand up to the most rigid compliance department in the world. After your audit is complete, a full report with recommendations will be in your hands within a week. The report will be delivered to the person who ordered the audit, and only that person. As with all our consulting business, strict confidentiality is always the case. Get in touch with us by
email.
