The National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) mandates that member firms supervise all registered representatives under Rule 3010, which mandates that members retain customer records and transaction records in a format that can be reviewed. Member companies must create a system for monitoring representatives, educate employees about procedures, develop a system of record keeping for communications with the public, and report client complaints to the NASD. A frequent transgression noted by the NASD is companies' tendencies to keep inadequate documentation of procedures. Often, supervisory procedures are not included. The NASD recommends that supervisory procedures include who is responsible for supervision, how the supervision will be conducted, when supervision will occur and how it will be documented.

The National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) develops rules that govern the conduct of the securities industry, examines securities firms for compliance, and disciplines individuals and firms who fail to comply. In recent years, one of the most common problems the NASD has uncovered is that the written procedures adopted by investment firms are often inadequate and do not meet industry standards.
