Workflow

Overview

CaseMark's FINRA 4512 Customer Account Information skill automates the creation of comprehensive, regulation-compliant account onboarding checklists for broker-dealers. It maps customer data, identification documents, and investment profiles to every required field under Rule 4512, producing exam-ready documentation with built-in verification flags and follow-up tracking.

Opening new brokerage accounts requires meticulous documentation across customer identification, trusted contact persons, employment affiliations, suitability profiles, and account elections. Manually tracking dozens of required fields across multiple regulations — Rule 4512, CIP, Rule 2111, Rule 3210 — is time-consuming, error-prone, and creates significant compliance risk during FINRA examinations.

CaseMark automates the entire FINRA 4512 checklist creation process by analyzing your firm's onboarding documents, customer identification, and investment profile inputs. The AI generates a structured, exam-ready account information packet with verification flags, declination tracking, and escalation workflows — ensuring nothing falls through the cracks during onboarding or regulatory review.

What does the FINRA 4512 checklist cover?

CaseMark generates a comprehensive checklist covering all Rule 4512 requirements including customer identification, CIP verification, trusted contact person documentation, employment and affiliations, suitability profiles, and account elections. Every mandatory field is tracked with verification flags.

How does CaseMark handle trusted contact person requirements?

CaseMark automatically includes the trusted contact section required under Rule 4512(a)(1)(E), documenting whether the offer was made, whether the customer accepted or declined, and capturing all contact details with the proper scope statement. Declinations are recorded with dates for compliance records.

Can this be used for entity accounts like trusts and LLCs?

Yes. CaseMark supports individual, joint, IRA, trust, entity, and custodial account types. For entity accounts, it includes sections for authorized persons, beneficial owners under the CDD rule, and prompts for entity-specific documents like trust agreements, LLC operating agreements, and powers of attorney.

How does CaseMark help with FINRA exam readiness?

CaseMark formats the checklist specifically for supervisory review and regulatory examination. Missing mandatory items are flagged with reason codes, follow-up dates, and escalation owners, creating a clear audit trail that demonstrates your firm's compliance efforts.

Does the checklist address Rule 2111 suitability requirements?

Yes. CaseMark includes a complete suitability profile section covering investment objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon, financial situation, and investment experience — all the data points required under FINRA Rule 2111 and Regulation Best Interest.

Can I customize the checklist to match my firm's specific WSPs?

Absolutely. Upload your firm's written supervisory procedures and approved onboarding forms, and CaseMark will align the generated checklist with your firm's specific policies, field requirements, and approval workflows.
