Business Ethics Fined $53m for securities law violations
In 2016 the US Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a US$53m fine against this company for several securities law violations. The company agreed to settle the case, resolving accusations that the firm misled investors. They had been charged with concealing important details from investors, failing to fully explain policies on monitoring fees, and not disclosing details about a loan they took from some of the company's private equity funds. The SEC found that the failure to disclose, coupled with hidden monitoring fees, amounted to violations of securities laws.
