Broker-Dealer Fined for Failing to Timely File Private Placement Offering Documents

A broker-dealer settled FINRA charges for failing to timely file offering documents for multiple private offerings.

According to FINRA, the broker-dealer made the required regulatory filings on average approximately 400 days after the deadline. FINRA found that the broker-dealer's supervisory controls relating to private placements did not make any reference to the requirements under FINRA Rule 5123 ("Private Placements of Securities").

FINRA determined that the broker-dealer violated FINRA Rule 2010 ("Standards of Commercial Honor and Principles of Trade"), Rule 3110 ("Supervision") and Rule 5123. To settle the charges, the broker-dealer agreed to (i) a censure and (ii) a civil monetary penalty of $30,000.
