What is the time frame for notifying the triumvirates if a broker-dealer's net capital reaches early warning?

Within 12 hours
24 hours
48 hours
Same day

The correct answer is: 24 hours

Notifying the triumvirates if a broker-dealer's net capital reaches early warning must occur within a designated time frame to ensure prompt regulatory oversight. Under the regulatory guidelines, this notification is required to be made within 24 hours. The early warning threshold is designed to alert regulators and the firm to potential issues regarding the broker-dealer’s financial stability, allowing for necessary interventions or corrective actions to be taken. It reflects the regulatory bodies' commitment to maintaining the integrity of the financial markets and protecting investors by requiring timely communication when a broker-dealer's financial situation may be in jeopardy. This time frame is critical because delays could lead to further financial deterioration and a failure to meet capital requirements.
