How to submit a disclosure

Last updated: July 1, 2026

Employees submit disclosures to notify compliance of outside activities, accounts, gifts, and other items that require firm awareness or approval.

How to submit

  1. Go to Disclosures → New Disclosure.

  2. Select the disclosure type.

  3. Fill in the required fields and click Submit.

Your compliance admin receives a notification and will approve, reject, or request more information. You'll get an email notification when they act.

Routine compliance disclosures

  • Outside brokerage account — a personal investment account held at a broker-dealer outside your firm

  • Outside business activity (OBA) — a job, board seat, side business, or gig outside your firm

  • Gifts & entertainment — gifts given or received above your firm's threshold

  • Political contributions — contributions to candidates or political organizations

  • Pre-clearance — requests to trade in restricted securities (IPOs, restricted stock)

Administrative updates

These trigger workflow actions in Hadrius but aren't compliance disclosures in the traditional sense:

  • State registration — changes to your registration status in a state

  • Address change — a change to your home or mailing address

When an admin approves OBAs, state registration changes, or address changes, Hadrius automatically generates a draft U4 amendment so your compliance team doesn't have to enter the same information twice.

Not all types may be enabled for your firm. If you don't see a type you need, contact your compliance admin.

What happens after you submit

  1. Your admin receives a notification and opens the disclosure.

  2. They take one of three actions: Approve, Reject, or Request more information.

  3. You receive an email for each action. If more information is requested, you can update and resubmit.

  4. Approved disclosures are logged in your compliance record and visible to your admin.
