Are the separate transaction records complete and accurate?

Correct Procedure:

Brokers must maintain a Separate Record for Each Beneficiary or Transaction (for example, DRE Form RE 4523). This record accounts for the funds received from, or for the account of, each beneficiary or each transaction and deposited to the trust fund bank account. These records are necessary for the broker to ascertain the total owed to each of the beneficiaries. The record should show in chronological sequence the following:

1. Date of deposit.

2. Amount of deposit.

3. Date of each related disbursement.

4. Check number of each related disbursement.

5. Amount of each related disbursement.

6. If applicable, dates and amounts of interest earned and credited to the account.

7. Balance after posting transactions on any date.
