Daryl Eugene Allison (Principal)
AWC/2009017068502/January 2012
As his member firm’s president and chief supervisory officer, Allison he
failed to adequately supervise a registered representative because he did not ensure that the representative was registered with a state before the representative conducted business with clients in the state.
Allison failed to adequately supervise another registered representative when he learned that her business had borrowed money from a customer. The firm’s WSPs prohibit registered representatives from borrowing from customers. Allison did not properly follow up on this information; he did not ensure that the customer was repaid or examine the business’sbank statements to determine whether the representative had borrowed from additional customers. Even when Allison placed the representativeon heightened supervision, after learning of the loan from the customer, he did not begin conducting the quarterly audits the plan mandated until months later.
