Broker Comment: Soon after joining an accounting firm the auditors identified deficiencies with an audit client who was a broker dealer. The FINOP for the broker dealer was not available and given my 30 years of experience I was called to assist. Instinctively, I advised to contact the FINRA Core Examiner as well as to give telegraphic notification to the SEC and FINRA. I assisted in responding to FINRA requests for additional information about the firm's net capital situation and helped navigate the firm back into compliance. Subsequently, the SEC notified me that they believed my actions constituted the activity of management which caused the auditors to breach the complicated rules of independence. Not being an auditor I was not previously aware of these technical rules. Rather than engage in a long costly legal fight which would have been a distraction to my partners, I agreed to settle and accept a one year suspension of my ability to appear before the commission as an accountant. I have grown immensely from this experience and have voluntarily taken over 130 hours of continuing education with over 27 hours dedicated solely to the matter of auditor independence. I believe I am a better accountant and FINOP because of it.
