The Cost Basis Reporting Service (CBRS) mitigates potential endless paper trails, added costs and added operational risk associated with firms manually transferring their cost basis information. The previous version of CBRS allowed financial firms to pass customer cost basis information on assets transferred through the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC)'s Automated Customer Account Transfer Service (ACATS).
