Ascendiant Capital Markets entered into an Order Accepting Offer of Settlement (Order) with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to resolve allegations that the company violated FINRA By-Laws, Article V, Section 2 and FINRA Rule 2010, by failing to update the FINRA records of two registered representatives to reflect “Wells” notices that they were the subject of regulatory investigations.
The Order also alleges that Ascendiant failed to update FINRA records to reflect that one of the registered representatives was the subject of an IRS lien for $247,000, and to reflect the fact that one representative was the subject of a customer complaint.
Ascendiant Capital was censured and fined $20,000.
Disciplinary Proceeding No. 2010023220507
