RE5 practice question with a worked answer. This is one of hundreds of FSCA RE5 questions in the RegulatoryExams question bank.

  1. a) The five-year minimum retention period.Correct
  2. b) A two-year minimum retention period.
  3. c) A three-year minimum retention period.
  4. d) A seven-year minimum retention period.

Why this is the answer

FAIS records, including appointment records and the register, must be kept for at least five years. Twelve months is plainly short of that; the minimum is not two, three or seven years.
