Bangkok--6 May--SET The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET)’s Disciplinary Committee for Brokerage or Agent’s Fees Charged found that Adkinson Securities PCL (ASL) had violated SET’s regulations, SET Executive Vice President Suthichai Chitvanich said. The Committee found that ASL gave six marketing officers who normally receive remuneration under incentive schemes credit for customers whose accounts they did not service, resulting in the officers receiving compensation contrary to the Exchange’s regulations. By virtue of Articles 23, 30, 32 and 33 of the regulations, the Disciplinary Committee has fined ASL THB 1.25 million. ASL is also required to ban the branch manager and three marketing officers from continuing their duties for 60 and 30 days respectively, and place another two marketing officers on probation for one year. In addition, the company must ensure that the three executives and two marketing officers involved now comply with the Exchange’s regulations. ASL has accepted the above penalties and stated that they are observing the regulations. The firm has guaranteed the Exchange that their executives will supervise operations vigilantly, that better internal controls are in place and that all operations meet SET’s and the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission’s requirements.
