Misrepresentation/Omissions
The Securities Act of 1933 requires publicly traded companies to disclose financial and other important information to investors and potential investors and prohibits misrepresentation or fraud in the sales of securities. Brokers must disclose the risks associated with investments to their clients. The National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) dictates that all members send account statements to clients at least once every financial quarter. Statements should include purchases, sales, interest credits or debits, charges or credits, dividend payments, transfer activity, securities receipts or deliveries, and journal entries detailing funds or securities controlled by the broker. All information provided should be true and free of deception.
