Broker-dealers are reminded that effective for fiscal years ending on or after June 1, 2014, the Annual Reports must include either: (1) an exemption report and a report prepared by an independent public accountant based on a review of the statements in the exemption report if the broker-dealer claimed that it was exempt from Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 throughout the most recent fiscal year; or (2) a compliance report and a report prepared by an independent public accountant based on an examination of certain statements in the compliance report if the broker-dealer did not claim that it was exempt from Rule 15c3-3 throughout the most recent fiscal year.

. **For more information on these requirements, see SEC Release No. 34-70073 available at** http://www.sec.gov/rules/final/2013/34-70073.pdf

## **Annual Audit Filing Guidelines (effective February 2016):**

Pursuant to SEA Rule 17a-5(d)(6), a broker-dealer required to prepare an annual audit report must file the report at the regional office of the Commission, the Commission's principal office in Washington, DC, the principal office of its designated examining authority, and with the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC") if the broker or dealer is a member of SIPC. Copies of the reports must be provided to all self-regulatory organizations ("SROs") of which the broker or dealer is a member, unless the SRO by rule waives this requirement. In an attempt to reduce redundancies and to streamline the filing requirements regarding SEA Rule 17a-5(d), FINRA has worked with the exchanges for which FINRA currently performs regulatory services to facilitate a single filing of annual audit reports, which eliminates the need for multiple filings in most cases.

**Effective February 1, 2016, your firm's electronic submission of the annual audit report to FINRA via Firm Gateway satisfies any requirement under SEA Rule 17a-5(d)(6) that it be submitted to the following SROs:**

**BOX Options Exchange, LLC**

**Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc., Cboe BYX Exchange, Inc.**

**Cboe Exchange Inc., Cboe C2 Exchange, Inc.**

**Cboe EDGA Exchange Inc., Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc.**

**Investors Exchange LLC (IEX)**

**Miami International Securities Exchange, LLC, MIAX Pearl, LLC**

**Nasdaq ISE, LLC, Nasdaq GEMX, LLC, Nasdaq MRX, LLC**

**Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC, Nasdaq BX, Inc., NASDAQ PHLX LLC**

**New York Stock Exchange, Inc., NYSE Arca, Inc., NYSE American, LLC**

FINRA may share a copy of the submitted Annual Audit with any SRO(s) listed above of which your firm is a member. **If you are a member of an SRO that is not listed above and that has not waived the filing requirement by rule, you must continue to file directly with such SRO.**
