Workflow

Overview

CaseMark's Reg BI Policy skill uses AI to draft comprehensive, board-ready Suitability and Best Interest policies for broker-dealers. It covers the full scope of FINRA Rule 2111 and SEC Regulation Best Interest, including all four component obligations, Form CRS integration, supervision, and recordkeeping. The result is a professionally structured compliance policy tailored to your firm's specific business model and product offerings.

Drafting Reg BI and suitability policies is a complex, time-intensive process that requires deep familiarity with overlapping FINRA and SEC requirements. Compliance teams often spend weeks assembling policies from scratch or patching together outdated templates, risking gaps in coverage that can lead to regulatory findings and enforcement actions.

CaseMark automates the drafting of comprehensive Reg BI and suitability policies by analyzing your firm's specific details against the full regulatory framework. The AI produces a board-ready policy covering all four Reg BI obligations, the FINRA suitability framework, Form CRS procedures, and supervisory protocols—giving compliance teams a complete, customized starting point in minutes instead of weeks.
