The Brits have fined the UK branch of Societe Generale 1.58 million pounds [US$2.44 million] for failure to file acciurate reports on transactions that occurred between November 2007 and February 2010.
Some of the transactions weren't reported on at all, others were treated inaccurately.
The FSA said the failure was branch was "a serious breach of our rules as it can have a damaging impact on our ability to detect and investigate suspected market abuse.”
This fine has nothing to do with Jerome Kerviel, but I thought I'd mention him, because no story abouyt SG is complete without some such mention.
By the way, Kerviel has a book out, L’engrenage: Mémoires d’un Trader (Gears: Memoires of a Trader). There seems as of yet to be no English language edition.
