The letter shall describe the act or practice engaged in or omitted, the rule, regulation, or statutory provision violated, and the sanction or sanctions to be imposed.
Citigroup Global Markets Inc
AWC/2009019551901
Citigroup submitted inaccurate Form U5 filings for registered representatives who were terminated or voluntarily resigned following allegations of theft, fraud, violations of investment-related rules or failure to supervise investment-related rules. In its required regulatory filings for most of those terminations, the firm inaccurately answered “no” to the termination disclosure question on the Form U5 that inquired about such allegations. The firm failed to establish, maintain and implement an adequate supervisory system and written procedures that were reasonably designed to achieve compliance with its obligation to complete and submit accurate Form U5 filings.
