Reasonable supervision includes, as appropriate, the establishment of policies, rules, procedures and systems to review, oversee, inspect and manage:

(a) Transactions requiring a real estate license.

(b) Documents which may have a material effect upon the rights or obligations of a party to the transaction.

(c) Filing, storage and maintenance of such documents.

(d) The handling of trust funds.

(e) Advertising of any service for which a license is required.

(f) Familiarizing salespersons with the requirements of federal and state laws relating to the prohibition of discrimination.

(g) Regular and consistent reports of licensed activities of salespersons or broker associates acting in the capacity of a salesperson.

The form and extent of such policies, rules, procedures and systems shall take into consideration the number of salespersons or broker associates acting in the capacity of a salesperson retained and the number and location of branch offices.

A responsible broker shall establish a system for monitoring compliance with such policies, rules, procedures and systems. A responsible broker may use the services of associate brokers and salespersons to assist in administering the provisions of this section so long as the responsible broker does not relinquish overall responsibility for supervision of the acts of salespersons or broker associates acting in the capacity of a salesperson retained by the responsible broker.
