Peter Elish investment security firm has been involved in a case settlement after it was reported to be operating illegally to the authorities.

Before going into the story, here is a brief background about this company and the man behind all of this. Elish who is the founder of the company created the independent stock brokerage firm together with his father in 1989. When they decide to create it, they were not that knowledgeable at first on what they are getting their selves into.

As an independent company they did not comply the standard quota system which the other companies have been using. Due to this, they were able to develop a stock picking system which is beneficial to both the management and its customers. This alone made them on top, surpassing some of their biggest competitors.

Going back into the case. After the investigation was made by the state of Bureau of Securities Compliance and Examinations, the result was positive, that indeed the firm has done some violations. This ended up with a voluntary consent agreement made by the firm itself to save them from further punishment.

To be exact, the investment security firm from Canonsburg has to pay a huge sum which is 5,000 dollars. This is for both the legal and investigative costs instead of a lawsuit for supposedly operating under the violation of Security State Act of 1972. The order along the consent agreement allegation was not denied and admitted by Elish himself.

The according to the court documents being presented during the court trails on March 29, Peter failed in supervising the agents of his company. In addition, the broker dealer firm was not maintaining the different ways of written supervisory procedures which is crucial in a business. This alone made clear that some factors were not met by them.

The investigation that was done by the Department of Banking and Securities bureau started on March 2016. According to them, the written procedure done by Peter was not only unorganized but also failed in keeping up information whenever there are changes which is a rule from the Financial Industrial Regulatory Authority.

FIRA a private corporation has been assigned by the U. S. Government in managing the industry of broker dealer to make ends meet as the industry keeps on expanding every day. According to FIRA, the company was not able to comply their rules when it comes to outside activities as how the supervision should be done.

Now, both accuracy and current was not met and their firm has been on the operation since year 1989. The moment the law discovered their violation they called Mr. Elish right away however no answers was made. They have already given statement for the people.
