Goldman Sachs was fined $3 million by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for mismarking nearly 60 million short sell orders as long and related supervision failures.
The firm further agreed to be censured as part of FINRA’s disciplinary action published Tuesday. Goldman Sachs neither admitted nor denied the self-regulatory organization’s findings.
From 2015-18, Goldman Sachs’s automated trading software mismarked sell orders following a system upgrade intended to simplify order flow, according to FINRA.
