Question 1/66
A brokerage firm's records include client agreements, selling orders and accounts. Under the Professional Code of Conduct, which of these does the DFM have the right to access and review?
Correct Answer: D
The Dubai Financial Market's Professional Code of Conduct grants the DFM the right to access and review all core client-related records maintained by brokerage firms, including client agreements, selling orders, and accounts. This comprehensive access enables the DFM to monitor compliance, investigate complaints, and ensure that firms adhere to regulatory and ethical standards. Access to all three categories is essential to provide a complete picture of client interactions and transactions, ensuring market transparency and investor protection. Partial access would impair effective oversight and enforcement.
