Daniel Michael Doderer
AWC/2009020824101
In connection with the opening of a new account for an existing institutional client, Doderer signed the names of officers for that client on sections of a Uniform Application for Investment Advisor Registration (Form ADV), without the signatories’ authorization or consent, and added false dates to sections of the Form ADV. Doderer submitted the Form ADV in connection with the opening of another account for the client, his member firm rejected it because it lacked a manual signature. Rather than obtain the signatures from the institutional client, Doderer signed the name of the client’s vice president next to the electronic signature on the domestic investment adviser execution page and state registered investment adviser execution page on the Form ADV, and inserted a false execution date on the execution page. Doderer signed the name of the client’s president and inserted a false execution date on the non-resident investment adviser execution page of the Form ADV. Doderer signed the officers’ names without their authorization or consent and submitted that Form ADV to the firm.
