The Income Statement (or Statement of Operations) reports revenues, expenses, and net income/loss over a defined period. The Balance Sheet shows financial position at a point in time, while cash flows and net capital statements focus on liquidity and capital. Thus, B is correct.

Rule 17a-4 requires electronic records to be stored in WORM-compliant (Write Once, Read Many) format to prevent alteration or deletion. This ensures integrity for regulatory audits. Flash drives, encryption, and laptops alone do not meet SEC tamper-proof standards unless WORM certified. Thus, C is correct.

The FINOP (licensed via Series 27 or 28) is the responsible principal who must sign and certify the accuracy of FOCUS Reports. This accountability is central to the FINOP role. CEOs or CCOs may sign other filings, but the FINOP is required here. Thus, C is correct.

Blotters of purchases and sales, as well as receipts and deliveries of securities and cash, must be recorded by the next business day. These records serve as the basis for ledgers and ensure accurate reporting. Complaints and statements have separate rules, and financial statements are annual filings. Thus, A is correct.

Organizational documents (Articles of Incorporation, partnership agreements, minute books) must be retained for the life of the firm under SEC Rule 17a-4. Blotters and ledgers are six-year records, and tickets are three-year records. Thus, C is correct.
