Record fine for Deloitte & Touche

LONDON, UK - The Financial Services Authority has fined a division of the accountancy firm Deloitte & Touche for “serious compliance failings”.

The £750,000 fine against Deloitte & Touche Wealth Management (DTWM) is the largest penalty imposed against a financial advisory firm.

DTWM failed to take reasonable steps to complete a review of alleged pensions mis-selling within regulatory deadlines and the City watchdog also heavily criticised the firm's poor record keeping.

Andrew Procter, FSA director of enforcement, told Reuters: “Effective compliance procedures are fundamental to consumer protection and are not to be disregarded by a firm's senior management.”

Gerry Paisley, managing partner responsible for regulation at Deloitte & Touche, expressed regret over the incident and explained that DTWM was relaunched under new management once problems had been identified.
