SEC and FINRA enforcement efforts ramped up in 2016, with each regulator achieving a record number of enforcement actions and fines. A recent program presented by compliance solutions provider MyComplianceOffice (MCO) looked at how SEC and FINRA enforcement efforts in 2016 compared with prior years, while also speculating on the level of enforcement fund managers may be able to expect under the Trump administration. The program was hosted by Joseph Boyhan, an MCO marketing executive, and Shane McGonigle, MCO’s chief customer officer, and featured Sutherland Asbill & Brennan partner Brian L. Rubin, who is a former NASD Deputy Chief Counsel of Enforcement and SEC Senior Enforcement Counsel, and associate Adam C. Pollet. This article summarizes the speakers’ principal insights.
