In terms of inspection frequency, how often should branch offices be inspected?

Annually
Every 2 years
Every 3 years
Every 5 years

The correct answer is: Every 3 years

Branch offices should be inspected every three years to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and internal policies. This frequency is designed to strike a balance between effective oversight and the resource allocation needed for inspections. Regulators expect that a three-year interval allows enough time for any potential issues to develop, ensuring that firms remain vigilant in maintaining their operational standards and adherence to regulations. Moreover, this timeframe allows businesses sufficient opportunity to implement corrective actions from previous inspections while still being subjected to regular oversight to protect investors and the integrity of the financial markets.
