The financial watchdog settled federal civil charges with poultry company Rica Foods Inc and two top executives over accusations that the business certified its financial statement despite not having a report from an external auditor.
The SEC said that Rica’s annual statement submitted in January claimed to have a report from Big Four firm Deloitte & Touche although at the time of filing no such report had been submitted. The statements also contained errors, according to the SEC.
Chief executive Calixto Chaves was fined £25,000, although no admission of guilt was made.
