On November 22, 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or “Commission”) announced its enforcement results for the fiscal year (“FY”) 2024. Though the SEC filed only 583 total enforcement actions in FY 2024—a decline of 26% from the 784 enforcement actions filed in FY 2023—the Commission obtained a record-setting $8.2 billion in financial remedies, which includes civil penalties and disgorgement amounts combined. Notably, 56% of the $8.2 billion in financial remedies was the result of a monetary judgment awarded in a single matter.
