      Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) will pay $6 million in total penalties to settle charges from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and two Canadian regulators that it failed to properly record software development costs for more than a decade.
The SEC said in a press release Thursday that RBC applied deficient internal accounting controls to the costs of internally developed software (IDS) from 2008-20. The deficiencies violated the books and records and internal accounting controls provisions of U.S. securities laws.
The Autorité des marchés financiers, which is the regulatory and oversight body for Québec’s financial sector, announced Thursday that RBC would pay 2 million Canadian dollars (U.S. $1.5 million) to settle its charges. The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) also announced a settlement with RBC for CAD $2 million.
