UPDATE 4/11/2020: According to FINRA’s February 2020 Disciplinary Actions: “D.A. Davidson & Co. (CRD #199, Great Falls, Montana) December 2, 2019 – An AWC was issued in which the firm was censured, fined $85,000 and required to provide to FINRA a plan for reviewing the securities detailed in the AWC to identify and then provide notice to the issuers of inaccuracies in the issue price certificates. Without admitting or denying the findings, the firm consented to the sanctions and to the entry of findings that in connection with municipal offerings, it provided inaccurate or misleading statements in its issue price certificates related to the percentage of each maturity that was sold, or was reasonably expect to be sold, to the public. The findings stated that the firm failed to establish and maintain a supervisory system and WSPs that were reasonably designed to ensure the accuracy of the representations the firm made to issuers in its issue price certificates. The firm relied on bankers and bond counsel to prepare and execute issue price certificates without any process or procedure for verifying the accuracy of the firm’s statements based on available information regarding whether at least ten percent of each maturity had actually been sold to the public. (FINRA Case #2017055363301)”
