Okay...so...FINRA Staff is on-premises conducting the bi-annual Cycle Examination and the regulator asks for some forms, which are supposed to attest to an RR's compliance with various regulatory disclosures, and the attestation is so onerous that the RR is required to affix his or her own signature to the form.  Hmmm, lemme see, how should you react?

Possible suggestion #1:  Forge the RR's name to the form and cross your fingers behind your back when you hand the documents to FINRA (and, for added measure, don't tell the regulator that you sort of forged the signatures).

Possible suggestion #2: Run into your boss's office, in a panic, and tell him or her that the firm is in trouble because someone forgot to get signed forms. Keep FINRA's staff waiting for an hour or so while you try to get your outside lawyer on the phone.

Possible suggestion #3:  Have that smug smirk on your face because you anticipated that FINRA would likely be on premises soon and did a dry-run to spot any compliance shortcomings before the regulator did -- and you made sure that all required, signed forms were in the firm's file.
