Goldman Sachs was fined $5.5 million by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as part of a settlement addressing alleged audio recordkeeping violations that followed a previous consent order the bank reached with the agency.
Goldman in November 2019 agreed to pay $1 million in settling with the CFTC over allegations it failed to retain certain audio recordings as required for swap dealers. That order contained cease-and-desist provisions violated by the firm as part of its larger penalty announced Tuesday.
