securities not in their possession, but
subject to the broker-dealer’s control or
direction. Any discrepancies between
the broker-dealer’s securities count and
the firm’s records must be noted and,
within seven days, the unaccounted for
difference must be recorded in the
firm’s records. Rule 17a–13(c) (17 CFR
240.17a–13(c)) provides that under
specified conditions, the count,
examination, and verification of the
broker-dealer’s entire list of securities
may be conducted on a cyclical basis
rather than on a certain date. Although
Rule 17a–13 does not require brokerdealers to file a report with the
Commission, discrepancies between a
broker-dealer’s records and the
securities counts may be required to be
reported, for example, as a loss on Form
X–17a–5 (17 CFR 248.617), which must
be filed with the Commission under
Exchange Act Rule 17a–5 (17 CFR
240.17a–5). Rule 17a–13 exempts
broker-dealers that limit their business
to the sale and redemption of securities
of registered investment companies and
interests or participation in an
insurance company separate account
and those who solicit accounts for
federally insured savings and loan
associations, provided that such persons
promptly transmit all funds and
securities and hold no customer funds
and securities. Rule 17a–13 also does
not apply to certain broker-dealers
required to register only because they
effect transactions in securities futures
products.
Rule 17a–13 requires the recording of
only those differences in the brokerdealer’s records that remain unresolved
seven business days after the date of the
examination, count, and verification.
The Commission or the self-regulatory
organization (‘‘SRO’’) designated as the
broker-dealer’s examining authority may
examine these recorded discrepancies in
a broker-dealer’s records to determine
whether they are the result of the firm’s
inability to maintain control of its
business.
The information obtained from Rule
17a–13 is used as an inventory control
device to monitor a broker-dealer’s
ability to account for all securities held
in transfer, in transit, pledged, loaned,
borrowed, deposited, or otherwise
subject to the firm’s control or direction.
Discrepancies between the securities
counts and the broker-dealer’s records
alert the Commission and the selfregulatory organizations (‘‘SROs’’) to
those firms experiencing back-office
operational issues.
As of August 2022, there were
approximately 3,532 active brokerdealers registered with the Commission.
However, given the variability in their

businesses, it is difficult to quantify
how many hours per year each brokerdealer spends complying with Rule
17a–13. As noted, Rule 17a–13 requires
a broker-dealer to account for all
securities in its possession or subject to
its control or direction. Many brokerdealers hold few, if any, securities,
while others hold large quantities.
Therefore, the time burden of complying
with Rule 17a–13 will depend on
respondent-specific factors, including
size, number of customers, and
proprietary trading activity. The staff
estimates that the average time spent per
respondent is 100 hours per year on an
ongoing basis to maintain the records
required under Rule 17a–13. This
estimate takes into account the fact that
more than half of the 3,532
respondents—according to financial
reports filed with the Commission—may
spend little or no time complying with
Rule 17a–13, given that they do not do
a public securities business or do not
hold inventories of securities. For these
reasons, the staff estimates that the total
recordkeeping burden per year is
approximately 353,200 hours (3,532
respondents × 100 hours/respondent)
The records required to be made by
Rule 17a–13 are available only to
Commission examination staff, state
securities authorities, and applicable
SROs. Subject to the provisions of the
Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C.
522, and the Commission’s rules
thereunder (17 CFR 200.80(b)(4)(iii)),
the Commission does not generally
publish or make available information
contained in any reports, summaries,
analyses, letters, or memoranda arising
out of, in anticipation of, or in
connection with an examination or
inspection of the books and records of
any person or any other investigation.
An agency may not conduct or
