Yes. The regulators require that you have written compliance policies and procedures so that all of your employees have an understanding of how the firm is to operate as of the day your firm becomes registered.
The compliance policies and procedures have to include a Privacy Policy, Code of Ethics, Written Supervisory Procedures and Business Continuity Plan, among others. Some firms will also be subject to specific state requirements, such as the Massachusetts Protection of Personal Information Policy.
