According to FINRA, Cassandra N. Heitz has been barred from association with any FINRA member in all capacities pursuant to FINRA Rule 9552(h) for failure to provide information or keep information current.

FINRA Rule 9552 establishes procedures for suspending or barring individuals who fail to respond to FINRA requests for information or fail to keep their registration information current. When individuals fail to comply with these fundamental requirements, FINRA may impose sanctions including a bar from the industry.

The requirement to provide information and keep registration records current is essential for regulatory oversight and investor protection. When individuals fail to respond to FINRA inquiries, it prevents regulators from investigating potential misconduct and protecting investors.

A bar is the most severe sanction FINRA can impose and means that Heitz cannot associate with any FINRA member firm in any capacity.

Investors should understand that FINRA's information requirements serve important protective functions. Registration information helps customers verify their representative's background, and cooperation with investigations allows FINRA to identify and address misconduct.

If you were a customer of Cassandra N. Heitz and have concerns about your account or investments, you should review your account statements and consider consulting with a financial professional to ensure your investments are appropriate.
