FINRA Suspends Perez For Failure To Timely Comply

Evidently, on March 13, 2023, FINRA issued Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent No. 2020065620601 sanctioning Maria Perez for infractions. Specifically, Perez was suspended for six months and fined $5,000. Particularly, FINRA alleged that Perez failed to timely comply with an investigation into possible violations of FINRA rules.

Without accepting or denying the findings, Acevez Perez reportedly agreed to the sanctions and acknowledged the findings that she did not promptly reply to separate requests from FINRA for information and documents as part of an investigation involving her disclosed outside business activities (OBA).

Notably, FINRA’s findings revealed that Acevez Perez initially provided a partial set of documents. Subsequently, he submitted additional documents but failed to provide a complete set until more than five months after the extended deadline. Supposedly, this occurred only after FINRA sent written correspondence highlighting deficiencies in previous responses.

Maria Perez Responds After Deadline

Supposedly, FINRA issued another request to Acevez Perez, consisting of sixteen specific items. In response, Acevez Perez reportedly only provided information and documents relevant to one of the requests. Subsequently, she submitted another set of documents but failed to address the outstanding requests.

FINRA says that Acevez Perez completed the production of all requested information and documents. However, this was approximately two and a half months after the original extended due date.
