was assessed a deferred fine of $7,500 and suspended by FINRA for six months for allegedly falsely stating to her member firm that she had contacted clients prior to trades being placed.R
FINRA’s findings stated that Cheryle Anne Brady’s registered sales assistant placed trades in her clients’ accounts without first obtaining the clients’ approvals. FINRA stated that a member of Brady’s firm’s sales supervision team sent her an email containing a list of the trades and inquired if Brady had spoken with each client on that day. Allegedly, Brady responded that she had spoken to each of the clients, and after each call, she had instructed her sales assistant to place the trades.
According to FINRA, in a conference call with members of the firm’s Legal and Compliance Department, Cheryle Anne Brady reiterated that she had spoken to each client before the trades were placed. Brady later admitted to her firm and FINRA that she did not speak with the clients before the trades were placed.
