WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 12C THE ORGANIZATION HAS A WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY THAT GOVERNS THE PROFESSIONAL AND ETHICAL CONDUCT OF BOARD MEMBERS, OFFICERS AND STAFF.

THE ORGANIZATION'S OFFICERS AND STAFF ARE EMPLOYEES OF FINRA, AND, AS SUCH, ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO CERTIFY ANNUALLY AS TO THEIR COMPLIANCE WITH FINRA'S WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. THE WRITTEN POLICY CONTAINS AN ONGOING OBLIGATION FOR EMPLOYEES TO INFORM FINRA OF ALL BROKERAGE ACCOUNTS IN WHICH THEY HAVE AN INTEREST AND TO ARRANGE FOR FINRA TO RECEIVE DUPLICATE ACCOUNT STATEMENTS.

EMPLOYEES ARE REGULARLY REMINDED OF THE RESOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE WHEN THEY ARE UNSURE WHAT TO DO. IN ADDITION TO TALKING TO DEPARTMENTAL MANAGEMENT, EMPLOYEES CAN DISCUSS CONFLICTS-RELATED CONCERNS WITH FINRA'S OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL OR ETHICS MANAGER. IF THEY ARE UNCOMFORTABLE DISCLOSING AN ISSUE AND DISCLOSING THEIR IDENTITY, THEY CAN USE FINRA'S 24-HOUR ETHICSPOINT HOTLINE TO POSE QUESTIONS OR REPORT CONCERNS. COMMUNICATIONS MADE THROUGH ETHICSPOINT ARE CONFIDENTIAL AND, IF THE EMPLOYEE WISHES, ANONYMOUS.
