Sutherland has completed its study of the disciplinary actions reported by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in 2015. By reviewing FINRA’s monthly disciplinary reports and press releases, Sutherland Partner Brian L. Rubin and Associate Andrew M. McCormick found that in 2015 FINRA’s overall sanctions increased dramatically. The amount of restitution ordered by FINRA tripled in 2015 while fines declined from 2014’s total. The number of cases also increased for the first time since 2012. Through its analysis, Sutherland has identified FINRA’s top enforcement issues and emerging trends. |
