Scope note

These packages do not include daily trade surveillance. OB Advisory does not review alerts, disposition cases, or make escalation decisions for clients. The firm and its internal team remain responsible for day-to-day market surveillance at all times. Each package makes sure the structure, policies, and procedures behind that work are rock solid, so the firm can protect the integrity of its platform and stand up to regulatory scrutiny.
