The punishment is due to following violations:

4- Provision (2-1) of Module Seven (Clients’ Funds and Clients’ Assets) of the Executive Bylaws of Law No. 7 of 2010 and their amendments, for using clients’ funds in the form of investments as bank deposits and on-demand accounts.

7- Article (3-1) of Module Sixteen (Anti-Money Laundering and Combating Financing of Terrorism) of the Executive Bylaws of Law No. 7 of 2010 and their amendments, the company did not prepare a “Know Your Client” form contacting the minimum information required in accordance with the Articles from (3-2) to (3-15) of this chapter, for (184) clients from the selected inspection sample.

8- Article (4-2) of Module Sixteen (Anti-Money Laundering and Combating Financing of Terrorism) of the Executive Bylaws of Law No. 7 of 2010 and their amendments, failure to comply with record keeping requirements of all client identification data where it could not provide CMA’s inspection team with the records of (184) clients out of (204) clients which were requested.

In this regard, the CMA emphasizes the implementation of CMA Law and its Executive Bylaws on all persons dealing in securities activities, and urges them to comply with these rules in order to promote investors' confidence, create a sound investment environment, and implement the Law according to the principles of fairness, transparency, and integrity in line with the best international practice.
