In recent months, FINRA has published two Regulatory Notices regarding the fraudulent transfer of customer accounts using an automated system called ACATS. On this episode, we'll hear all about what goes into the creation of a Reg Notice and take a deep dive on this particular issue. Plus, we'll hear about some information that didn't make it into the most recently published Notice.

FINRA Unscripted welcomes three new guests, Chris Hunter, Principal Analyst with Risk Monitoring, Emily Kahn, Principal Intelligence Specialist with the Financial Intelligence Unit, and Lindsey Barnett, Senior Principal Investigator with the Special Investigations Unit, to talk about Regulatory Notices 23-06 and 22-21.
