Broker Dealer Audit Services:
Expertise You Can Trust

Navigating the complex regulatory environment of the securities industry requires more than just meeting minimum requirements. It demands specialized expertise, current industry knowledge, and a trusted partner who understands the specific needs of broker dealers. At Ernst Wintter & Associates LLP, our Broker Dealer Services are built on decades of experience and a deep understanding of SEC and FINRA regulations. Since 1989, weโ€™ve provided comprehensive audit and compliance support tailored to broker dealers, helping firms stay ahead of regulatory changes while maintaining operational integrity.

Why Broker Dealer Audits Are Essential

Broker dealer audits play a critical role in maintaining investor trust and ensuring regulatory compliance. As mandated by the SEC, these audits must be conducted by firms registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). However, PCAOB registration alone isnโ€™t enoughโ€”you need a team that brings value beyond compliance.

At Ernst Wintter & Associates LLP, we specialize in delivering efficient, accurate, and tailored audits that not only meet regulatory requirements but also support your business goals.
