FINRA's new rules are intended to provide member firms greater flexibility, not less, according to the regulator. The rules require firms to periodically provide a list of residential supervisory locations where securities business is carried out and allow firms to remotely satisfy inspection obligations starting July 1.
Despite reports that Barclays is considering a five-day in-office mandate due to FINRA's rules, the regulator clarified that the rules are not meant to bring the workforce back to the office full time. FINRA emphasized that the aim is to offer flexibility to member firms.
During the pandemic, FINRA provided temporary relief to member firms from certain workplace inspection requirements to accommodate remote work. This relief was set to end on May 30, a year after the CDC declared an end to the COVID-19 pandemic.
