Section 204(a) subjects every adviser that is not exempt from registration to the SEC's record-keeping and examination powers. Rule 204-2 lists the records: journals and general ledgers, order memoranda showing who gave the instruction and who placed the order, cheque books and bank statements, bills, trial balances and financial statements, written communications received and sent about recommendations, advice, receipts and disbursements of funds and the placing or execution of orders, the list of discretionary accounts and the powers of attorney, written agreements, advertisements and the records behind performance claims, personal securities transaction records, copies of brochures and the delivery records, Form CRS and its delivery records, the compliance policies and the annual review documentation, proxy voting records, and, for advisers with custody, the additional journals and statements the rule names. Most records stay in an easily accessible place for five years counted from the close of the fiscal year of the final entry, and for the first two of those years in one of the adviser's own offices; organisational documents and partnership articles last until three years after termination.
