Surveys
- Arc Partners 2005 Value-Based Vendor Management Survey Results Value-Based Vendor Management (VBVM) is a technique for maximizing the value derived from any external service provider. In order to gauge how well financial organizations manage their vendor relationships, Arc Partners, Inc. conducted a survey in June 2005. The survey contained 13 questions and it was sent to over 200 senior business and technology managers representing over 65 financial companies including banks, broker/dealer firms, securities exchanges, asset managers, and hedge funds.
- Arc Partners 2004 Electronic Messaging Survey Results SEC and NASD have imposed stringent record preservation and supervision requirements on broker/dealers and exchange members. SEC Rule 17a-4 and NASD 3110 state that firms must preserve all electronic communications relating to their business in a non-rewritable, non-erasable format for three years, two of which must be in an easily attainable place. NASD Rule 3010 states that broker/dealers must implement a supervisory system to review messages between their salespeople and customers. In order to gauge how securities firms are addressing these regulations, Arc Partners, Inc. conducted a survey in May 2004. The survey that contained 16 questions was mailed to over 180 Compliance and Compliance-IT officers representing 125 unique banks and broker/dealer firms.
