Understanding the documentation challenges you face every day

Financial advisors must archive all client communications. WhatsApp messages need proper documentation to meet regulatory requirements.
Investment Advice Documentation
Suitability reviews require complete communication records. You need documentation of advice given and client instructions.
Client Dispute Protection
FINRA arbitration requires proving what was communicated. Scattered messages don't provide adequate protection.
Audit Trail Requirements
Compliance audits examine communication records. You need professional archiving of all client interactions.

Investment Advice Documentation
Document investment recommendations and client acknowledgments for suitability compliance
Real Example
A financial advisor documented investment recommendations via WhatsApp, creating PDF records showing the client understood the risks and approved the strategy. This documentation proved crucial when the client later claimed unsuitable advice during a market downturn.
Client Instruction Verification
Preserve client trading instructions and transaction authorizations for compliance records
Real Example
A wealth manager documented client instructions for portfolio rebalancing via WhatsApp. When the client disputed the transactions during FINRA arbitration, the PDF record clearly showed the client had authorized the trades.
Financial Planning Documentation
Archive financial planning discussions and client goal confirmations for compliance files
Real Example
A CFP documented ongoing financial planning communications with a client via WhatsApp. During a compliance audit, the PDF records demonstrated appropriate client communication frequency and advice documentation.

SEC Rule 17a-4 requires communications to be preserved in a format that prevents alteration. Our PDF conversion creates static records with timestamps, supporting compliance efforts. However, full Rule 17a-4 compliance requires additional controls including WORM storage, audit trails, and retention management. Consult your compliance officer and consider specialized compliance archiving systems for complete SEC compliance.
