    How FINRA Is Enhancing Member Firm Examinations

    Examinations are a cornerstone of FINRA's regulatory oversight, but how we conduct them is evolving. As part of FINRA Forward, we're making our approach more risk-informed, more efficient, and more transparent. On this episode, J. Koutros, Senior Vice President of Member Supervision, Operations, Procedures, and Standards, Jim Reese, Senior Vice President of Examinations, and John Martino, Vice President of Examinations explore the changes reshaping FINRA's examination program: streamlined first firm exams for lower-risk firms, extended exam cycles where warranted, more targeted data requests, and advance notice about exam timing. The guests also look ahead to new technology, enhanced transparency around preliminary findings, and the ongoing feedback that drives FINRA’s continuous improvement.

    Trading Around the Clock: Inside FINRA's Trade Reporting Enhancements

    Every time you check a stock price on your phone or watch a ticker scroll across a screen, you are seeing the result of a complex reporting system most investors never think about. Behind that number is a vast infrastructure capturing and consolidating trades from exchanges and over-the-counter markets in milliseconds—and that system is undergoing major enhancements. On this episode, Chris Stone, FINRA Vice President, Transparency Services, takes us inside the systems that make market transparency possible. Stone explains how FINRA recently extended trade reporting hours to 4 a.m. ET, why the industry is preparing for 23-hour, 5-day-a-week trading by December 2026, and how FINRA’s recently implemented fractional share reporting is eliminating what researchers called "phantom volume."

    How FINRA Is Streamlining Data Requests

    Data is at the heart of everything we do at FINRA—from examining firms to detecting suspicious trading to protecting investors. But the process of requesting, gathering, and analyzing data involves significant effort across the board. So, the question is: How do we work smarter? How do we use technology and collaboration to be more targeted in what we ask for, more efficient in how we use it, and more effective in the oversight we provide? On this episode, Sam Draddy, Senior Vice President of Surveillance and Market Intelligence, and J. Koutros, Senior Vice President of Member Supervision Operations, Procedures, and Standards, explore how FINRA's approach to data requests is evolving. This effort embodies FINRA Forward, our commitment to continuous improvement, regulatory efficiency, and reducing burden while strengthening investor protection and market integrity.

    Building Cybersecurity Resilience Through FINRA Forward

    Today's cybersecurity threats aren't isolated incidents—they are sophisticated operations orchestrated by organized criminals and even nation states. This new reality demands we respond not as individual organizations, but as a unified industry with shared intelligence and coordinated defenses. Through FINRA Forward, we are applying this perspective to create practical tools that firms can use to protect themselves and their clients from emerging threats.  On this episode, we explore the topic with Bryan Smith, FINRA’s Senior Vice President of Complex Investigations and Intelligence; Brita Bayatmakou, Vice President of Strategic and Threat Intelligence; and Jason Beachy, Vice President of the Cyber and Analytics Unit. Our guests discuss how FINRA is working to provide firms with the intelligence, preparation, and collaborative tools they need to better protect themselves and their customers in an increasingly complex threat landscape. These efforts include workshops and tabletop exercises, the Cyber and Operational Resilience program, and our forthcoming Financial Intelligence Fusion Center.
