A China-based technology company won’t pay a fine in settling with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over an alleged accounting fraud scheme perpetrated by two of its former senior managers.
Cloopen Group Holding, a provider of cloud communications products and services, dodged a potential penalty from the SEC for violations that included running afoul of reporting, recordkeeping, and internal control provisions of the federal securities laws, the agency announced Tuesday.
