Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Oct. 2, 1997
Report No. GGD-98-5
Subject
Summary:

The extent to which federal sales practice requirements would protect over-the-counter purchasers of complex financial instruments known as derivatives depends in part on whether these products are considered securities, futures, or neither. This report examines the use of these instruments and suggests steps to determine whether federal sales practice requirements should be implemented. GAO discusses the (1) federal sales practice requirements applicable to these products and the dealers marketing them; (2) extent of end-user satisfaction with sales practices, product use, and related disputes and the costs of these disputes; (3) views of end-users and dealers on the nature of their relationship and responsibilities; (4) steps that dealers and end-users have taken to reduce the potential for sales practice disputes; and (5) steps that regulators have taken to address sales practice issues.
