SIE practice questionhardCode of Procedure
A registered representative receives a complaint from FINRA's Department of Enforcement. How many days does the respondent have to file an answer?
- A60 days
- B30 days
- C25 days✓ Correct answer
- D10 days
Explanation
Why C — 25 days
Under FINRA's Code of Procedure (Rule 9215), after a complaint is served, the respondent has 25 days to file an answer. If the respondent fails to answer within 25 days, FINRA may file a motion for default, and the hearing panel can issue a default decision. Extensions may be granted for good cause, but the standard deadline is 25 days. This is a commonly tested detail on the SIE exam.
