Our Business Continuity Plan
We plan to quickly recover and resume business operations after a significant disruption and respond by safeguarding our employees and property, making a financial and operational assessment, protecting the firm's books and records and allowing our clients to transact business. In short, our Plan is designed to permit our firm to resume business as quickly as possible, given the scope and severity of the disruption.
Our Business Continuity Plan addresses: Data back-up and recovery; all mission critical systems; financial and operational assessments; alternative communications with clients, employees and regulators; alternate physical location of employees; critical supplier, contractor, bank and counter-party impact; regulatory reporting and assuring our clients' prompt access to their funds and securities, if we are unable to continue our business.
Our clearing firm, Wedbush Securities, Inc., backs up our important records in a geographically separate location. While every emergency situation poses unique problems based on external factors, such as time of day and the severity of the disruption, we have been advised by our clearing firm that its objective is to restore its own operations and be able to complete existing transactions and accept new transactions and payments as soon as possible.
If a disruption knocks out our ability to do business, we will transfer operations to our clearing firm and will notify you through our website www.lampertcm.com if possible. If the disruption is so severe that it prevents us from remaining in business, our clearing firm will assure our clients' prompt access to their funds and securities.
