Summary
This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - Practitioners with principal authority are responsible for their firm's overall compliance with Circular 230. - A violation occurs if a firm leader fails to implement 'adequate procedures' for all staff to follow Circular 230. - Supervisors must identify and take prompt corrective action to address any 'pattern or practice' of noncompliance within the firm. - A supervising practitioner can be disciplined if their failure to act is deemed willful, reckless, or grossly incompetent. - The exam may present scenarios where a leader claims ignorance, but they are still responsible if they 'should have known' about the misconduct.
